#MediaDefender-defenders post info, results, analysis and laugh out loud!

mediadefender-defenders.co… — #Mediadefenders went boom and is replaced with channel: #mediadefender-defenders on EFNet. Powered by a site where users disclose results, analyse data and publish phone calls, cease & desist letters, and apparently more to come tonight. Despite the lolling out loud, serious legal battles will probably soon start. But the losers are known, right?

  • peaceninja, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41they describe digg users as going "ape *****" and also saying that digg is an "out-of-control rumor mill", which may be partially true but their company is in business of putting fake decoy content online, what hypocrisy!

  • jrwr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Server is BACK online, had a DDoS attack
  • JiMiThInG, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Good site for reading through all the emails and listening to the leaked call without having to mess around with the torrents.
  • merlin77077, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Mediadefender was attempting to setup a honeypot to catch torrent downloaders. They got caught. Their emails were then published online and are now being distributed by torrent. Irony? Yes...
  • atomicpoet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19This is a work of art. All the more a work of art it would be if MAFIAA got the same comeuppance.

    In any sense, it looks like we have an interweb war. Let's bring in the tanks!

  • izzybr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Read the reply. it's signed as
    "person who fakes is whois information"

    Cue Nelson's 'haha'
  • MerryMortician, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10god i LOVE the email reply.. "You could also pay me a lot of money. That might help. That'd actually help immediately." LOLZ!
  • OutThisLife, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Eh, this server has handled Digg before.
  • peaceninja, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7millions of users on the internet tearing the content apart = MD gets owned
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7So the battle begins....
  • ch33sehead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"I consider this case null and void as I'm an impatient man.
    Well, it's already null and void, it'll just get nuller and voider. "

  • murlidhar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8poor them? i am laughing.....
  • Yodacola, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5 In case you do not trust downloads from this site, here's a youtube of the phone call :

  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8or was it the Digg Affect?
  • DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Lol, try again. It's online.
  • norcalscan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The phone call about 2/3rds in is hilarious. VOIP call getting eaten by the bandwidth of MD's own app communicating back to their servers from New York. I manage a VOIP system and unless it's encrypted, WireShark can sniff any VOIP call with ease.
  • applecarriage, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4he probably signed up for it knowing that they would release the email and he would get some very mean messages in his inbox ;]
  • Mudcrutch, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Can anyone summarize the entire story here.. I think I missed the first part of all this hooplah.
  • .Steven, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Do words ***** Owned come into play?

    The owner of mediadefender-defenders.com edited certain files to protect MD. Take a look at www.mediadefender-defenders.com/xlsq7AbgRGD19.xls

    If you want the unedited files get them from http://thepiratebay.org/user/MDDefender/
  • Floris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I mean, if they go to court and win in court and the hackers go to jail .. mediadefender is still looked upon as the loser here. I wish everybody the best of luck in their little internet-war. Instead of watching Idol, I look at this show for my entertainment.
  • Floris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Works fine here? try port :8080 as alternative
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I do think that you should have remove the Social Security number and other personal information too but I think I'm being too kind with them...
  • cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+2Hey, I hate Media Defenders as much as the next guy but I wouldn't want to see them go ass up. They're a company with employees who earn a living. I would like to see them stop ***** around with our beloved BitTorrent trackers, and maybe continue finding paedophiles and such. Piracy is not a crime (imo), but child pornography is.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Actually, I don't think the company is is business any longer.
    There is no way they can recover from this and still keep any shred of respectability or trust with their MPAA/RIAA masters.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Hahah! This is great. Thanks.
    Now I don't have to mess with the torrents.
  • phyzome, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Some folks are worried about their IP address being harvested when downloading the torrent of emails, but know they can proxy the website through Tor.
  • o0JoeCool0o, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4BAHAHAHA Serves them right, I hope there company burns to the ground.
  • Monk22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2its so much trouble to click a link then drag the file to thunderbird to read the emails
  • mistafreeze, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2lol
  • j00fek, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3no workey
  • phyzome, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, but they *suck* at security and privacy. So... I wouldn't trust them to do the job right.
  • sgoogle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Coral Cache,
    Google it
  • Floris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's an almost rofl ..
  • Caffeinate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Cool, thanks for the link. I knew about google cache and web archive but coral is awesome.
