I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Wired has an interview with MediaDefender where they try to explain why they attacked Revision3, which uses BitTorrent to host its own content. Somehow it eluded MediaDefender that they had injected fake content into Revision3's tracker, so when Revision3 changed configurations, their systems saw it as a pirate tracker with lots of illegal content MediaDefender had put there and attacked. In other words, everything they did was intentional except for the choice of target. Given that they have several Gb of bandwidth dedicated to denial of service attacks against torrent trackers, all anyone needs to do is to trick them into attacking a hospital or government facility. MediaDefender has never been very competent, after all." Link to Original Source
