Yet Another Leak from MediaDefender

For a company that helps their customers control access to content, MediaDefenders is having a rough time. Last week I wrote about the embarrassing email leak reported in TorrentFreak. This week, its code from MediaDefender that getting out. According to TorrentFreak:

This leak contains a wealth of information and seriously harm MediaDefender’s future operations. BitTorrent tracker owners and other admins who are involved in managing P2P networks can utilize the leaked information to brace themselves against companies like MediaDefender, who try to pollute their networks with fake files.

From the leak it seems that MediaDefender is active on virtually every P2P network, including Usenet.

Talk about loss of intellectual property. How effective can they be now? Will P2P file pollution techniques work now that admins have the blueprints on how MediaDefender goes executes its activities?
