Media Defender: DoS thugs

[yendi]

("thug" first used in this context by Cory Doctorow, but too appropriate a term to not repeat)

I am completely unsurprised to learn that Media Defender, the company whose job it is to serve as electronic terrorists on behalf of the big entertainment companies, has broken multiple laws, committed denial-of-service attacks, and brought down legitimate servers.

Hey, when your employer owns the legislature, laws are a trifling inconvenience.

Media Defender is one strange company. I have received a couple of e-mails in the past from them THANKING me for promoting the new Van Morrison album on www.vintagevinylnews.com.

Is that incentive for me not to post the album? Should I be suspicious?
