Something as good as this couldnt happen to a more deserving company
http://www.slyck.com/story1622_MediaDefender_Leak_Cost_Nearly_1_Million_DollarsAs many will remember, MediaDefender suffered a humiliating attack in from a group named MediaDefender Defenders, which claimed responsibility for the massive information leak.
The information leak was divulged in three components. The first and perhaps most damaging was the 6 months worth of personal and business emails, coupled with an extensive phone conversation between MediaDefender and a law enforcement official. Both provided substantial insight into the company's operation. This was followed by the MediaDefender loosing the confidentiality of its source code to its anti piarcy tools. Finally, a database containing the hash codes to fake files on the Gnutella network was leaked. Each one was highly damaging in its own way, however today there's an actual number: $825,000.
P2P Blog discovered this number from MediaDefender's SEC filing. These regular financial documents are submitted regularly, which permits company transparency for investors.
Lets hope this company have more bad luck, it is after all companies like this one that send fake IP,s out over P2P networks that directly lead to folks being wrongly accused of copyright infringement, their own src code make this type of "packet forgery" method abundantly clear I,m told.
