Internal Emails of An RIAA Attack Dog Leaked

qubezz writes "The company MediaDefender works with the RIAA and MPAA against piracy, setting up fake torrents and trackers and disrupting p2p traffic. Previously, the TorrentFreak site accused them of setting up a fake internet video download site designed to catch and bust users. MediaDefender denied the entrapment charges. Now 700MB of MediaDefender's internal emails from the last 6 months have been leaked onto BitTorrent trackers. The emails detail their entire plan, including how they intended to distance themselves from the fake company they set up and future strategies. Other pieces of company information were included in the emails such as logins and passwords, wage negotiations, and numerous other aspect of their internal business."

... did they seriously use the wrong "their"?

Man, you'd think the OCD would kick in eventually with these hacker blokes.

Yes, but isn't that all in .rar format?

Do not support EMI nor iTunes. The reason is that EMI still enters contracts with artists that result in the artist getting only 4% of the total revenue for the sale of their work. You say that 4% is better than nothing but unless you look at it as 96% of revenues going to an organization that forces the artists to pay for all costs. And EMI is still a member of the RIAA which sues consumers.

So, don't support EMI as they are in support of suing consumers and they cheat the artists into only providing them 4% of the total income. Pretty sad.
