A few days ago, we reported that the fake torrent site MiiVi was down after it was discovered it was a front for the MPAA to catch would-be pirates.
The agency behind the site, Media Defender however, is denying that the site was set up as an entrapment scheme like many are calling it. MediaDefender went on to say that the story was being blown out of proportion by pro-torrent sites such ... [ read the full article ]

I just think it was the Media defender's lawyers, that told them how much trouble they could get into.
I do NOT believe the story about "forgetting" to password protect a site like that! Nor do I believe it was not an entrapment site. It clearly WAS an entrapment site...otherwise they would have never bothered with changing the whois information.
They got caught, plain and simple in creating an entrapment site. Now mabye companies will THINK TWICE, before they ever try this again.

From a legal point of view I believe this really is entrapment. It's like going to a guy on the street, offering him some drugs and after he bites, you yell for the cops saying he's just bought drugs.

they wernt trying to entrap people, that wouldnt even work all they could do is sue for lost revenue they would make 10 bucks on every lawsuit. im not sure the lawsuit would even fly, the users would have to be proven to know what they were doing was illegal, some companys offer loads of movies and tv shows online for free the burdon isnt on the users to diferentiate the real from the fake it would be too hard for the average user, this is the same reason why no one gets sued for just downloading only uploading.
most likly they were using it for marketing/anti-piracy data collection, you know, seeing how many people use these types of sites and what movies they select so they could better focus their anti priacy efforts.
(pssst... use www.filmzzz.com)
