I find this interesting.

MediaDefender's tactics are, technically, illegal.

The reason they get away with them is because the people that fall victim to them are attempting to do something illegal.

Sorta like getting shot during a drug deal. You don't want to report it because you were breaking the law at the time.

The bigger problems fall with the studios and labels who pay MD. They are, technically, paying for illegal activity.

Some states are already looking into what kinds of laws protect people from this sort of thing.

In essence, they are pursuing their right to break the law without their other rights being infringed, if you can believe that one.

In the end, I think the P2P community is good about purchasing when the product is good, and it creates a better market for consumers who want to try before they buy.


IT'S A BOY!!
