Anyone familiar with &quot;MediaDefender&quot; will remember the leak they had. It showed marketing intel being a growing portion of their business.<p>Essentially they were collecting IPs off of bittorrent while poisoning the swarm, while also making reports that guided the music industry as to what to market.<p>These people within media companies take glee in hauling others to court as to inflict fear in the flock, while profiting off them by using consumption metrics to guide what is pitched. All this while vehemently insisting pirates are just killing their ability to purchase more luxury automobiles.
