Re: I wouldn't trust anything MediaDefender puts on p2p networks
Okay, so you don't like that MediaDefender does it. That's fine. What do you think about the offering in general?
A song, legal to download, in portable non-DRM MP3 format. It's "album art" embedded in the ID3 tag and text in comments is an advertisement. You do not need to see or interact with the ads to enjoy the music, move it between devices, or share it with others -- it's an unprotected MP3.

1 edit |  It might have hidden spyware/adware that phones home and
tells the RIAA what kind of music you have. Not so much for
the purpose of using that data against you in a potential
lawsuit (though that is possible), but more to sell your
music downloading and web surfing habits to third parties
for marketing purposes (and this includes spammers).
MediaSurrender/MediaPretender/MediaDefenseless, you can take
your so-called offerings and stick them where the sun doesn't
shime!
