MediaDefender's BitTorrent-Based DOS Takes Down Revision3

Posted by timothy on from the well-that's-certainly-reasonable dept.

Sandman1971 writes "Over the long Memorial Day weekend, Revision3 was the target of a malicious Denial Of Service Attack which brought R3 to its knees. After investigating the matter, it was discovered that the source of the attacks came from MediaDefender, the famed company hired by the MPAA and RIAA to try and stop the spread of illegal file sharing. The kicker? Revision3 was taken down for running a bittorent tracker to distribute its own legal content."

    I assume that you are also in favor of federal criminal investigations of those who are breaking the applicable federal copyright laws?
