Well this is interesting.

Apparently The Pirate Bay is filing charges against the Swedish correspondents of some of Americas largest entertainment companies due to a leaked e-mail from MediaDefender by MediaDefender-Defenders, containing information pointing to their involvement in a lot of sabotage activities against P2P users among other illegal activities. Hopefully with some media pressure and support from the piracy and copyright movements and organizations over here this will lead somewhere.

There's not much info yet but you can read the whole thing here, and there's a section on it in the MediaDefender article on Wikipedia. There's also some MediaDefender torrents available on The Pirate Bay, but you'll need a torrenting application for those.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
