1 edit | And who discovered this? The P2P downloaders of course! See? Even illegal downloading can help catch the anti-piracy guys at their games. MediaDefender deserves the banhammer for this one. | |

How are people supposed to know which files they offer are legal and which aren't? It's like going to some guy on the street who sells legal DVDs of movies, but has some that are fake but look just as legal as the others, and if you buy the fake ones from him, he arrests you. | |

| Re: And who discovered this? For starters, if you're redirected to a site where you need to pay for content, that's probably one of the authorized ones. If you're getting full porn HD rips, they probably aren't authorized. Either way, I doubt that Media Defender is giving away content, authorized or unauthorized, so it shouldn't be too challenging to determine legitimacy. | |

I'm not even going to bother arguing with someone who can't be bothered to read the news blurb we're arguing about.
Hint: "The company is involved with both legal and illegal p2p downloads online; they use legal downloads to make money on branded songs in partnership with businesses like Atlantic records and they use illegal downloads to catch filesharers and get money from studios" | |

@qwest.net | Exactly. Why even deal with this company when you know they are shady to begin with? I don't care if their content is legal or pirated. Based on this companies past history why would you do any business with them? | |

Is it any worse then churches running Bingo Halls, gambling, or selling raffle tickets to win cars?

| Re: It might be legal ... It depends on the law of the land.
Morality is just how one feels about things.
Is it illegal or not goes back to laws.
It is obvious that morals over the years have gone downhill and companies know this so they push as much as they can.

| Re: It might be legal ... I dispute the idea that morals over the years have gone downhill ... In days of yore, morals were just as horrible but a) they didn't have the media telling them about every case of immoral conduct one could conceivably imagine, and b) they dealt with these things far more "in the family" or "swept under the carpet". | |
