An attempt by the media industry to strike back at peer-to-peer users was revealed both to Methlabs and eMule users earlier today, as the tracking group MediaCentry set up several fake eMule servers to try to catch file sharers. MediaCentry is a company affiliated with both the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and have been responsible for the tracking of a number of peer-to-peer users over the last year.

Sonds like entrapment to me. It's the equivelent of the DEA setting up a hash bar in central New York with a back door to the county jail.
