Pirates mock Media Defender

THE MUSIC AND FILM industry's private dicks, MediaDefender, are using copyright laws in an unsuccessful bid to stop pirates publishing emails which prove the outfit was attempting to run an entrapment site.

MediaDefender sent shed loads of takedown notices and legal threats to P2P web sites that are "facilitating the propagation of a 700MB archive" of the embarrassing e-mail.

However the P2P sites seem unimpressed with the empty threats.

According to Ars Technica, isoHunt claimed the outfit was incapable of composing a valid DMCA takedown notice. "Despite us being located in Canada, if you do actually figure out how to compose a valid DMCA notice, we will honor it... just as soon as we're done laughing at you."

Meganova was a bit more blunt. Its reply started with the phrase "Dearest little asstunnels" which we think was supposed to be "arsehole" but lost a bit in the translation. After the comparatively polite beginning, the reply went a bit downhill with what could be the this year's academy award nomination for the most gratuitous use of the word fuck in a legal document.
