remeber how you asked a while back why you see so many trackbacks that have nothign to do with your stories? Now see the revision3 comment section!
http://revision3.com/blog/2008/05/29/inside-the-attack-that-crippled-revision3

Obviously those revision3 guys there have not only not a best network setup (OK me cut them some slack here since MediaDefenders criminal Denial of Service infrastructure is a tough beast non the less and harder fro FBI to shut down then some 16 year old pimple face that runs such an operation out of parents basement and only controling a few thousand computers around the world instead of those easy to drag in server parks that MD uses for their ciber criminal activities) but also do they give a damn about their comment section!
It is now filled with this trackback spam hapilly showing up there to all this shit websites.
Thats what this trackbacks are for linkspamming to sites that either give them money for every stupid human that cliks them and or more evil those websites are set up to exploid vulnerabilities to infact unaware clickers with malware that brings those SPAMMERS even more money.
Jon, now you know and can see why they are doing it to your site too, with the only difference that you have not activated the visability of those trackbacks!
(Keep it that way please!)</description>

		<description>Ars Technica is saying that Revision3 reported MD to the FBI.  We&#039;ll see what comes of that.</description>

		<description>Just because MD take up a stance against file sharing, cosying up with the cartels, and try to screw over file sharing concerns, it doesn&#039;t mean  they really care one way or the other. It may just be the business model they chose, in order to leech lots of cash from the game.

Like a cop who gets into it for the power trip and make cash at the same time. Does he care about law and order as they all claim? Not most of them, who are also corrupt, or become so.

These MD freaks of nature may just be a group of hackers who distribute viruses online just for fun, or who had some petty grievance with BT moderators or had chatroom arguments and made it their &quot;mission&quot; to &quot;avenge&quot; themselves.</description>

		<description>&quot;everyone is guilty until proved otherwise, and even then, they’re still guilty&quot;. Surely that stupid concept is unconstitutional?</description>

		<description>MediaDefender has been in the P2P-sabotage business for many years. They know what they&#039;re doing, so it&#039;s hard to believe that this DoS attack against Revision3 was a complete accident. Other torrent sites have complained of similar abuse by MediaDefender. The Pirate Bay  filed a report with police in Sweden last year. But since most Bittorrent trackers are small and located outside the USA, there&#039;s very little they can do against California-based MediaDefender with its deep pockets and close media-industry ties.

But MD&#039;s actions in this case may not have been anti-piracy in nature. According to ArtistDirect&#039;s SEC financial reports, a growing part of MD&#039;s business has been involved in injecting non-fake content [i.e., spam] onto the P2P networks for a fee. Spammers prefer to  exploit  open servers in an attempt to hide the true origin of their spam.

The source code for MD&#039;s software was leaked last year. It&#039;ll be interesting to see if any of those applications were purpose-built for DoS attacking websites.</description>
