An interesting twist in the story of MediaDefender, the anti-piracy company which saw details of its tactics leaked online recently, as internet pirates start to use that information against media companies themselves.
The team of campaigners behind torrent tracker The Pirate Bay now say they are reporting a number of companies to the Swedish police. They say these organisations - including movie, music and game studios - actively tried to attack The Pirate Bay, which is not illegal in Sweden.
While browsing through the email we identified the companies that are also active in Sweden and we have tonight reported these incidents to the police. The charges are infrastructural sabotage, denial of service attacks, hacking and spamming, all of these on a commercial level.
The big names include Twentieth Century Fox, Universal, Sony and Activision.
