MediaDefender-Defenders proudly presents some more internal MediaDefender stuff... more will follow when time is ready.
MediaDefender thinks they've shut out their internals from us. Thats what they think.
The past 9 months we also monitored MDs phone systems. This is just one phone call, 25 minutes long, with the New York State General Attorney.
Spread it like the wind! Someone willing to transcribe this so the search engines will find it as well?

- synthox, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34The comedy that Media Defender is giving us now dwarfs the content they were hired to "protect".
Cheers to the inside guys my hat is off!
*grabs a bowl of popcorn* - jigglebilly, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34LOL, MD has no concept of technology...how are they going to stop piracy when they cant even figure out how to encrypt sensitive internal information....although i bet its hard to hire good techs for a company that most techs hate with a passion!!! =D
- sl9sl9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+29MD: "We're using RSA at our end, on our exchange server. We checked out our email server and our email server itself has not been compromised."
Hahaha, not only had their e-mail server (+entire network) been compromised, but the phonecall in which they were talking about it was being bugged at the same time :D This MP3 is comedy gold right here. - kopimi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25The MDD people are on irc - irc.efnet.net/MediaDefender according to TPB comments
- illogicz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23MD: "If you guys want to know what password were using we can just communicate that by phone. [...] Were pretty available by phone, so if you guys are comfortable just communicating with us by phone, anything that is really really sensitive, we can communicate in this fashion"
*****, this is just too funny. - jcmoods, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25More like:

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3809004/MediaDefender.Phonecall-MDD - Nearoschyth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19After READING THE TRANSCRIPTS, I think it's hilarious that they're talking over VoIP about how insecure the transfer over the public internet is for sensitive information. They deserve to be exposed if they're that stupid.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Thanks god for the place where freespeech is freespeech and files are not taken down if some laywer whines like an emo-kid: Thanks for The Pirate Bay!

- denied, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16This call was back after they first setup the SSH with NY OAG, around mid- or end- of August.
If you search the emails for "change password" you'll see it went just as MD says on the call (or so I'm told...): someone tried to login to an SSH that was setup for Michael McCarthy (NY Atty General), they got the IP, nonstandard port, and username, tried to login twice from an IP in Sweden, then disconnected.
MD was (is?) setting up a trap for New York residends downloading child porn; their system, authored by MD, was to poll the Ares network for a lot of child porn related keywords, match that to files that were offered or being downloaded by NY residents, then store all of the information together on this server they're talking about for review by the NY Atty General.
If you search for emails with Michael McCarthy you can see where they set up the system along with a few screencaps. - onisamsha, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I worry that since a state AG was on the other end of one of these phone calls the government will come down hard in this case. Don't get me wrong i think this should be spread far and wide, but we all know the government is like a spoiled kid: it's ok for THEM to spy on us regards to copyright, but not for us to do the same...
/double standard much - Kasot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14The Police: "...this is obviously a very sensitive investigation... (...) ... if anybody was successfully snipping out our communication between each other over the last months they are obviously gonna know that you guys are helping the state of new york attorneys general office in a child porn investigation of global scale"
I'm sick and tired of companys doing the job of the Police :( The police is part of the government for a reason! - Rapter09, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15This is amazing. It's like some sort of nerd fantasy; the little nerd finally gets angry and socks the school yard bully in the gut and puts him in his place for a few moments.
- slackerjack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15popcorn sounds good. I'm going to make some now. Thanks.

- inobla, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Awesome! Their asses are hemorrhaging pretty bad this week. I hope these clowns go the way of the SCO Group soon.

- renesisx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Just so you know, this call is about child porn entrapment, not warez, mp3, movies, RIAA, MPAA etc. (they only mention that about halfway through)

- craftycorner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5People are screwing right back...>:)
- spunquik, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5what a great weekend for snooping.
- craftycorner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It's probably techs who are spreading their stuff to the four winds...duh!
- nospacesunique, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I don't know if it was done like this but I've heard of this method being done at a company I used to work for (not the mail interception bit, the conference call eavesdropping)
They're on a conference call that's been set up by email. Whoever leaked the emails must have had access to the emails for a while. MD and the Attorneys Office send each other the number and passwords for the call and they're read by the guy who taped this call. He logs onto the conference call before hand and waits for the rest to come onto the call and records them then leaves the call after they all leave. No one knows he's there as there aren't any "beeps" when he comes onto the call or leaves as he's already in the room and leaves after them . This is assuming that the conference call service doesn't have an admin interface to tell you how many people are on the call or that they didn't bother to check - serrebi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3pwn 2.0
- andycr512, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You seem to forget that these are the people who are violating other people's privacy as well.
- ludditte, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4this whole child porno thing is bogus, it is the justification to go after the P2P sites because the public is gonna fall for that argument, even if it is a lie. How unbelievable is it that the NY state attorney is gonna buy these
scumbags' arguments, think money is changing hand here? - doshindude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3but then after that.......um, yeah. run like hell.
- BlackOp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Just don't microwave it..
- deadbaby, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The world is rarely black & white morally. All I know is, these people don't want to ***** with us.
- Endeavour3d, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Considering the recently discovered collaboration with the Attorney General's office (which is illegal no matter how you look at it), I think this is going to have a much bigger impact and farther reaching consequences than people realize.
- Qumahlin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Read the emails...MD knows nothing about technology at all it seems except for a few of their developers...everyone else seems to be mildly retarded.
In one email they discuss their employees inabilities to pay attention to their outlook calenders....um pay attention? You setup a friggin meeting request and set the reminder and your done...when your appoint is coming up it friggin pops up on the screen and tells you.
In another email they are discussing the miiivi site and how their embedded player works and you can tell they are not familiar whatsoever with the standard security built into most modern web browsers.. - Kasot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Transcript: http://www.andermic.com/mediadefender.txt
- bairy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3People download copyrighted material illegally
Company uses shady methods to try and trap people - that would be the two wrongs
Illegal up/downloaders will cheer at what's happened. Piracy groups and industry commentators will probably be neutral or tut.
But none of it matters anyway. The fact is that if the MPAA and RIAA stopped charging extortionate prices, and stopped messing around trying to sue everyone and actually embraced the technology and compromised with the disgruntled people, piracy would probably go down - at least a little bit (though naturally you'll always get those who want to download illegally).
While all these mini-battles play out, the underlying theme of the war is deliberately ignored by those who wish to continue making masses of money off it. - Pelapp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2At torrentfreak here: http://torrentfreak.com/mediadefender-emails-leaked-070915/
- Markpdotcom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Obviously PeerGuardian has taken updates from this... the P2P list update just took about 40 seconds to download! Normally its done in 10.
Update people! :) - Radian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Punches him in the face, kicks him in the balls, spits in his face, then gouges his eyes out before leaving him for dead.
