Or so everywhere else they would like you to belive
http://torrentfreak.com/pirates-slowly-killing-mediadefender-080603/It has been a rough year for MediaDefender and their parent company ArtistDirect. Last September a database of internal emails leaked, and last week they received more bad press for DDoSsing Revision3. Unsurprisingly, MediaDefender’s revenue has dropped significantly as a result.
As you can see from this picture below, mediadefender are really in slumps, and as usuall they are contridicting themselves as usuall
“Revenues related to MediaDefender’s anti-piracy activities declined in 2007 as compared to 2006 and management anticipates a further decline in 2008. The largest source of this decline is due to reduced spending on the part of the major music labels due to a significant reduction in their sales and profitability.”
As the article rightly points out, Isnt it P2P users that are killing the industry, why are they not supporting a company that fights P2Pers. Its a sign of the times as far as i concerned, and maybe the record labels are starting to realise they really arent going to beat this.
