Awesome Story this week unfolding around Media Defender, an anti-piracy company working with the content cartels to do things like pollute P2P networks with bogus/corrupt files, hack P2P users computers and entrap people into illegal file-sharing. Emails and all sorts of internal goodies have been outed on the Internets. All sorts of interesting tidbits and tactics revealed. BEST BITTORENT LEAK EVA!
Torrentfreak has been all over it—
