    Dont fall into the trap...

    Pirate Trap Set by MPAA

    The MPAA has set up a decoy website aimed at snagging pirates, according to the website blorge.com (whose motto is "technology with attitude"). According to the website, Media Defender, operating on behalf of the MPAA, has set up a site dubbed MiiVi.com that offers "fast and easy video downloading all in one great site" including software that it says speeds up the downloading process. However, according to blorge.com, the software actually searches the computer for other copyrighted files and sends the information back to Media Defender.

        MiiVi?

        I bet Nintendo wanted that URL.

        That's rather sneaky, but not unexpected. The MPAA is rather...uptight. They threatened to sue websites for using their copyrighted rating scale (G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) on pieces of fiction without their permission.
