MediaDefender Gets Offensive
MediaDefender, which provides anti-piracy technology and services, set up a web site at MiiVi.com to entice web visitors and P2P users to commit copyright infringement. The company has stepped up from passive monitoring and active spoofing to outright entrapment. The site offered direct full movie downloads and software to facilitate transfers. The site has since been taken down.

Here is more on the company.

MediaDefender was founded in 2000, introducing IPP (Internet Piracy Prevention) to the world. It has since remained the undisputed provider of choice for most global content owners, and has retained a dominant position in the P2P (Peer-to-Peer) Anti-Piracy Industry. MediaDefender has been contracted by every major record label and every major movie studio, video game publishers, software publishers, and anime publishers.

MediaDefender is also the acknowledged P2P industry expert, and has been called upon to testify in front of US Congress several times. MediaDefender has also partnered with law enforcement to crack down on internet child pornography rings.

In 2006, MediaDefender was acquired by ARTISTdirect (ARTD). MediaDefender P2P Marketing Solutions are just one of the many projects that has come out of the acquisition.
