MPAA Dogs Hack Diggnation

\r\n\r\nIf you need any more proof that the MPAA\’s \”antipiracy\” attack dogs hurt innocent people, look no further than this. Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback reports that a denial of service attack — a cybercrime — that took down his business for two days was committed by none other than Media Defender, an MPAA \”antipiracy\” watchdog.\r\n\r\nRevision3 produces online video shows, their most famous being Diggnation. They publish their content — quite legally — via BitTorrent. Apparently, Media Defender\’s systems are programmed to put fake trackers on BitTorrent servers, and attack those servers if caught. That\’s exactly what happened to Revision3.
