In a long and sordid story, Ars Technica tells of a "P2P poisoning" company that had a large quantity of e-mails stolen by TorrentFreak. The e-mails reveal a secret government project, how it attempted to entrap users with a "video upload" site called MiiVi, and details of its contracts with music studios.
<blockquote>The cold war being waged between MediaDefender and P2P copyright infringers is rife with mutual deception, but one fact shines through all of the layers of obfuscation: MediaDefender consistently underestimates the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and dedication of its adversaries. In this case, it could cost the company everything.</blockquote>
The 700MB of internal company e-mail was obtained by compromising an employee's Gmail account. The company specializes in disrupting peer-to-peer transactions so that users must buy legitimate copies.
