Tell me if I forgot someone! - Yatti420, on 06/03/2008, -0/+80When they finally do walk off the plank, there better be alligators at the bottom..
- xero69, on 06/03/2008, -0/+70When they go belly up I hope the repo men come dressed in full pirate costumes. That would be epic.
- Tufriast, on 06/04/2008, -7/+70You sir are a real American Hero...
When the news post is fresh, and its about piracy, you're there with the F-bombs ready and waiting. You have NO shame in dropping them left and right like Randy Savage's Flying Elbows. Just when you think that pro-intellectual property pundit has gotten his way - we all know YOU'LL BE THERE.
So here's to you Mr. pro-intellectual property ***** bomber.

- XedLos, on 06/04/2008, -1/+43I'm still waiting for a Revision3 MediaDefender law suit
- oxdeltaxo, on 06/04/2008, -0/+40No, it was still distributed. They had one master computer telling many slave computers to flood their servers. It would only be a DOS if it were one computer.

- Trixrox, on 06/04/2008, -1/+36Urgh, anti piracy organizations are annoying, it almost makes you want to pirate just to spite them. Having said that, it is important to pay for good software....***** software can be pirated.
- Mr_Lyle, on 06/04/2008, -1/+33MediaDefender's revenue would drop even more if Revision3 stand up for themselves and sue MD's ass for what they've done to them. It's ***** criminal to DDoS a service and after what MediaDefender did, Revision3 has them by the balls and they're just gonna let 'em go. They should do the entire internet a favor and just put these ***** away once and for all.
Come on Revision3, take a stand and stop being a bunch of pussies. Plenty of people willing to donate cash for your legal fees to help take these ***** out. Let's get it done. - darkphan, on 06/04/2008, -1/+31MediaDefender is nothing more than an arm of organized crime, and should be delt with accordingly by the government. Will the government do anything? Heck no, they receive too much money from the backers of MediaDefender.
- cheezintern, on 06/04/2008, -1/+26Good, I have no sympathy for that company. I'm going to download some movies and music albums, and seed them for a few days, just to spite them.
- woofers07, on 06/04/2008, -1/+23I'm seriously sick of rednecks who feel they need to use Obama's middle name. We get it, it's the same as Sadam's last name, STFU and move on.

- FallOutBoyTonto, on 06/04/2008, -6/+23Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't DDoSsing 'Distributed Denial of Service'?
They acted alone so shouldn't it be just DoSsing? - RMoore08, on 06/04/2008, -0/+15DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE!
- Radica1Faith, on 06/04/2008, -1/+16Pirates get all the attention. Ninja's have a lot of catching up to do. Or maybe we just haven't noticed
- mrinsanity, on 06/04/2008, -1/+15***** IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE!

- mrinsanity, on 06/04/2008, -0/+11If you notice them, they're NOT real ninjas.
- 1337Einstein, on 06/04/2008, -0/+11If ninjas were involved there would be nothing slow about mediadefender's death.
- TWrex, on 06/04/2008, -7/+17Funny, thats pretty much what they're saying about pirates.
- gannondork, on 06/04/2008, -1/+11YOU ARE A PIRATE!
- MadOgre, on 06/04/2008, -0/+10Of course Revision3 shouldn't go after MediaDefender in court. They need to go after ArtistDirect.
- mrinsanity, on 06/04/2008, -1/+11YOU ARE A PIRATE!
- frostbit3, on 06/04/2008, -2/+11I hope they burn in hell
- SLockhart, on 06/04/2008, -1/+10Oh the irony.
- gotamd, on 06/04/2008, -0/+9Pirates aren't killing MediaDefender. MediaDefender is killing MediaDefender through their own stupid policies and practices.
- Ratteler, on 06/04/2008, -0/+9I hope they burn on Earth... THEN in hell.
- inactive, on 06/04/2008, -0/+9they seeded fake torrents with the addr of revision3 as the tracker, causing thousands and thousands of bit torrent clients to hammer them.
"He found out that MediaDefender used the Revision3 BitTorrent tracker for the fake torrents they upload to various BitTorrent sites."
http://torrentfreak.com/revision3-sends-fbi-after- ...
"ArtistDirect CEO Dimitri Villard and MediaDefender vice president Ben Grodsky admitted to Louderback that they had been exploiting the lax security configuration of Revision3's BitTorrent tracker and using it to conduct decoying operations, but they disavowed knowledge of the denial of service attack and claimed that their servers were only pinging Revision3 once every three hours."
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080529-revi ...
now there is some conflicting information in those two, one indicates that it was media defender that was doing a SYN flood (the first of 3 packets in a TCP connection handshake) but its more likely they were so lagged that the connections timed out before they could be established and it appeared to be a syn flood.
The whole thing about media defender using someone elses bit torrent tracker without permission, taking advantage of "lax security" rings of a 18 USC 1030 criminal (and civil under 1030(g)) violation. If you or I took advantage of someones "lax security" and took out someones systems and networks we would be in jail already.
But the fact that they were using the tracker, what were they doing? pinging only or uploading torrents that used that tracker (more of what I think was going on). - SSUK, on 06/04/2008, -2/+10Free != Pirated. Idiot.

- feanix, on 06/04/2008, -0/+7I doubt that it was anything as dramatic as pirates killing the RIAA. We haven't changed our downloading habits at all due to MediaDefender. It was like trying to dry up a river by throwing matches into it. The music industry realized this, and stop paying MD to throw matches when it was being paid to build dams (somehow).
All this stuff about the music industry backstabbing MD or pirates laying siege to MD's mighty walls, or whatever, is romanticizing the whole situation a bit, as we are wont to do; Jerry Holkins said "It's not difficult to find truly exultant tales of piracy that brim with the zeal of true nautical adventure. It is as though downloading illicit ISOs is the only way a man can truly exert his will on the flexing, undulating evil of a corrupt universe." - McMaster88, on 06/04/2008, -1/+8Software that you use to do your job, for example: An engineer would need AutoCAD, should buy it. It is a tax write off anyway. But a person that takes pictures with his/her 6megapixel camera and then uses photoshop to put effects on them as a hobby doesn't need to pay for it. My rule is; "If the software can be a tool for me to use to make more money I will pay for it, if I'm just going to use the software for hobbies and not make any money with it. pirate it."

- 808ethan, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5They do all this illegal *****. Steal OUR rights, and then bitch about making less money??
They shouldn't make ANY money. They should owe billions in fines and be in pound-you-in-the-ass federal prison! - Culyt, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5I would think it would be worth it for the good PR though
☢ - DeathfireD, on 06/04/2008, -0/+5I think it comes down to money. Even if Revision3 spent the money to take them to court and possibly win, would they make any money when it's all said and done? Probably not, Media Defender could just claim bankruptcy or make a deal with Revision3 before it even hit court.
