12HA! I used to be a power user+ but recently moved and now steal internet (ah, the joys of living in an apartment complex). The downside is, I can't set up my router properly to upload, so my ratio has gone to shit. I just entered "Ratio Watch" yesterday so last night I quickly downloaded as much as I could and woke up to this.

OiNK Infiltrated, Media Defender Leak Shows
September 24, 2007
Drew Wilson
Over 700 MB of Media Defender's apparently leaked e-mails are showing many interesting things. These emails discuss spoofing top 40 music and big box office hits. While investigating these e-mails to see the extent of what this information holds, Slyck has learned there are emails indicating OiNK, a popular private BitTorrent tracker, was possibly infiltrated by Media Defender. While currently there's no information on whether they are involved on any spoofing on that particular website, information from the leaked emails suggests that they have collected IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and spread corrupt files.
An email with the subject "like NIN?", starts off and continues with the following language:
This Leak Notification regards:
Hyperpower
The Good Soldier
Vessel
Capital G
The Warning
God Given
Meet Your Master
The Greater Good
The Great Destroyer
Another Version Of The Truth
Zero-Sum
The following Torrent users are online sharing/distributing the Leaked tracks listed above:
****xx.xx.xxx.xxx****
OrgName: Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.
OrgID: xxxx
Address: (deleted)
City: (deleted)
StateProv: NJ
PostalCode: xxxxx
Country: US
[...][4 other additional IP addresses, 2 American, 1 Canadian and 1 Russian]
That torrent was posted to the following website:
http://oink.me.uk/details.php?id=1196850
That torrent was being tracked by the following tracker:
http://tracker.oink.me.uk/tracker/announce
Thank you,
The MediaDefender Leaks Team
MediaDefender, Inc.
An additional email, if accurate, appears to confirm this. The email details the leak of 'Gretchen Wilson - One of the Boys' and includes 9 IP addresses and also points to OiNK's tracker and details page ID of "12! 71374".
While the IP addresses and page detail codes may seem arbitrary for those who doubt Media Defender has infiltrated the website, a third email includes the following in one of their 'meeting notes' on March 2nd, 2007:
# Initiate exclusive accounts from private sites Demonoid, Torrentbox, Sladinki007, and Oink (to Torrents):
* Cooperate with Leaks to initiate accounts.
* Increase share ratios.
o Appear as “normal” users.
Whether or not anyone has received any legal demands is currently a mystery, but the leaked emails indicate that there were at least 2 swarms that Media Defender either had direct access to, or has a member passing along identifiable information to Media Defender.

18A friend of mine once got a rather unsettling email from his ISP while sharing files on Gnutella. The email warned him to cease all illegal filesharing activity and cited tye filenames of certain copyrighted files he'd recently tried to download via Limewire and the dateTimes when he was downloading.
Apparently, those files were actually plants or decoys hosted by MediaDefender. The MediaDefender software pretended to serve him the files (which never downloaded to completion) while it quietly logged his IP address and the dateTime of the transaction, then automatically sent off a very lawyerly-sounding email to his ISP. The ISP in turn sent him an email informing him that copyright infringement is a violation of his ToS agreement and threatening to terminate his service if he doesn't knock it off.
Of course at the time he was totally freaked out and fully expected a summons to arrive any day, along with a warrant to seize his computer.
Only after doing a lot of Internet research on the tactics of the MPAA/RIAA, did he realize that he'd been the victim of a completely automated MediaDefender operation.

19Media Denfender is a bunch of fishing pricks. They wreak havoc with bogus torrents, they log addresses, and going by their leaked emails, hire hackers to damage sites.
This OiNK shutdown is crazy. If anything, it shows how deeply connected the BPI, and RIAA is with law enforcement. They raided the owners flat like he was a drug dealer, not a webmaster. To top it off, every news story repeated lies about having to pay a "fee" to use OiNK's services.
Hopefully, the webmaster can get on with his life, if the BPI doesn't decimate his life in the process. I'm glad Pirate Bay is resilient enough to stick to their guns, and not be pushed around by the suits.

20Ever read The Pirate Bay's letters section?

They have a lot of juvenile fun with the numerous cease-and-desist letters they receive from copyright holders all over the world.
