MediaDefender is aan anti-piracy groep die samenwerkt met RIAA MPAA en verschillende media producenten. Ze uploaden fake torrents waarmee ze ip adressen verzamelen zodat ze mensen kunnen aangeven/oppakken. Recentelijk hebben ze een site opgericht, Miivi.com, waar je films kan uploaden en films kan zien via een stream. Goed idee, alleen zo krijgen ze wel je ipadress waarme ze je kunnen aangeven ivm copyright schenden meuk. De site is echter achterhaald door torrentfreak.com waarna de site is neergehaald. Ze beweerden later dat MiiVi.com puur voor onderzoek was en dus niet als val tegen ” piraten” (yarr)
MediaDefender’s Randy Saaf told Ars Technica that while the company does own the domain to MiiVi, the story itself was completely made up. “MediaDefender was working on an internal project that involved video and didn’t realize that people would be trying to go to it and so we didn’t password-protect the site,” Saaf said. “It was just an oversight from that perspective. This was not an entrapment site, and we were not working with the MPAA on it. In fact, the MPAA didn’t even know about it.”
Dat is opzich al leuk, alleen nu zijn ze nog harder de grond in getrapt door Media defender – Defender. 700mb aan mails zijn gelekt, sommige gaan terug tot 6maand geleden. Alle mails die zijn verzonden binne MD zijn dus gelekt. Hier een voorbeeld over een fake release van Simpsons the Movie
# REMINDER: “The Simpson’s Movie” premieres this Friday (to Torrents).
* Decoy files are available in torrents MDfile server.
* Use Public Trackers for pre-Leak releases.
* Create two new trackers for this project.
o Ebert to inform Torrents of these new machines.
* Send a list of 5 release names from each torrent team member to Ebert.
* REMEMBER to input torrent file into interdiction if a real Leak is available this weekend.

Subject: care in interviewing
Given all the recent Digg, SlashDot and derivative online articles about MD, be careful what you say in job interviews. Specifically, I’m concerned about giving any information BEYOND what’s already on the mediadefender.com website. I’m worried about someone interviewing for a position just for the purpose of getting more info to post online. For example, if anyone asks anything about MiiVi, just reiterate what Randy has said online (it was an internal video project that we probably should have password protected; we were in no way directed to, or working with, the MPAA on that project; NO part of the project was a honeypot designed to trap downloaders).”
Maar als het een internal project was, zoals ze beweerden, waar kwamen al die bezoekers dan vandaan?
Dylan,
Another thing we can do to increase Google and other search engine traffic is to get more link-ins. At the next MiiVi meeting, I’m going to ask Randy for permission to incentivize people to link-in a MiiVi video on their MySpace. Colin is already doing this and it helps the word-of-mouth spread, even if the link-ins are nominal. I’m not sure what we could do in the link-in regard early on, but getting the cumulative ~1000+ MySpace friends of MediaDefender employees to see MiiVi link-ins can’t hurt….
Colin
Toch aardig wat reclame voor een internal project. Echter, zou wouden toch doorgaan met het project. Dus ze zochten een nieuwe domeinnaam, wat beetje onzin is.

Subject: FW: New miivi name.Do you like vidber.com or bivvid.com or vidorama.com?
——————————————————-
Reply from: Colin KellerVidorama would be my first choice (though it is a bit 70’s, kind of like a bad video rental store). Vidber doesn’t spark much interest (kind of ends too abruptly), and bivvid I’m not really feeling
Mischien doen ze toch iets meer dan alleen het domein veranderen.

To: michael.potts@artistdirect.comMichael,
When you get a chance, we would love you to start taking a look at www.viide.com. That is the current home of our MiiVi site. We have totally locked-down the site, while we improve the look and feel from the blogosphere saw. Accordingly, to access the site you will need to login using the following login/password *****/**** (we have also made a login/password for Bobby, in case you think we could use some help with our graphics — *****/*****).
Once you log on the site, surf over to www.viide.com/download.php to get our application. The website currently acts a GUI for the application. When we go live with the site for the general public, there will also be a java applet that also minimal/one-off type use of MiiVi (but this feature is inaccessible with the current locked-down version of the site).

To: MIIVI@mediadefender.comI’m not sure if you guys are planning on going live with the Viide domain name….but in case you are….you might want to remove all references of Miivi on the homepage of viide.com before it gets Googled or someone public comes across it. For example, at the bottom under terms of service and on the HTML Title where it says “MiiVi, Inc”, and probably the default image of the skyscrapers (which are the same as Miivi).
Also, the WHOIS information is still linked to MediaDefender, Inc.

Snel, verander de WHIOS info voordat iemand erachter komt . Helaas voor MD, ze waren iets telaat. They got Fucked
