Last month The Pirate Bay filed a lawsuit against some major players in the entertainment industry alleging that they were trying to corrupt to sabotage the infamous torrent tracker.
The MPAA has finally responded to the claims and to no ones surprise, they have denied all the claims including that they ever worked with MediaDefender. Unfortunately for the MPAA's claims, archives of leaked MD emails beg to differ.
MPAA attorney Espen Tøndel said that the "companies represented by the MPAA never requested MediaDefender to do the things The Pirate Bay claims."
One example given by TF involves Universal Pictures, a studio known for being represented by the MPAA. The leaked emails leave nothing to the imagination when Universal execs say “can you jump all over this swarm and try to kill it?”, meaning they are asking MD to pollute torrent sites with fake files in an effort to hide real ones. Universal is just one of many movie studios that have been hired by MD, yet the MPAA somehow denies the claims.
Brokep, a TBP admin, had this to say about the media companies. “I want them to take their crappy methods and stop their wrong-doing. They are going around accusing the pirate community for doing immoral stuff, when they do illegal stuff,” he said.
