Pirates cybersquit Mediadefender site

THE PIRATES at the P2P torrent site Meganova have cyber squatted MediaDefenders' attempt at a honey trap.


For those who came in late, Mediadefender tried to set up a P2P site of its own, called MiiVi, which it intended to use as a honey trap for its clients the RIAA.

Unfortunately they they were caught, and promptly denied doing it. However millions of emails from Mediadefender turned up and were prompty published online which showed more or less what they were up to. MediaDefender pulled the plug on the idea.

Now it seems that Meganova, who dubbed Mediadefenders' lawyers as arsetunnels, have set up a MiiVi site [www.Miivi.org] with a directory of P2P sites. There is also some debate as to whether "arsetunnels" is a legitimate word here.

More here and here.
