The site, MiiVi was found and outted by the TorrentFreak site in July, but Media Defender, which works for the MPAA, denied that it was an entrapment site. Instead, it was supposed to be an "internal site".

However more than 700MB of Media Defender's emails have ended up in the paws of TorrentFreak and these show that Media Defender was not telling the whole truth.

The emails show that Media Defender was very upset that its cunning plan was revealed. The CEO Randy Saaf said that this was "really f*cked" and MiiVi had to be pulled.

He was worried that hacks would apply for jobs at the company just to find out more about its secret project.

They also show that MiiVi was having some difficulty with "unexpected content" including a torrent where a woman was having sex with a dog. If, as MediaDefender claimed, the site was internal and not meant to be seen by man, er woman plus dog, then one has to wonder where this particular video classic came from.

Likewise there are lots of emails about how Media Defender was working to increase Google and other search engine traffic using link ins. If it was not meant to be on the web then this would have been unnecessary.

They also made up fake company, called MiiVi, and edited their own Wikipedia entries and hosted Miivi on IPs that couldn't be traced back to MediaDefender.
