The Pirate Bay starts "miivi.org" tracker

Many savvy and paranoid torrent downloaders have noticed that the latest episodes of "Heroes" and "Prison Break", released on EZTV, are being tracked by none other than MiiVi.org, the trap site set up by MediaDefender to entrap pirates.

However, the tracker is another ingenious idea by the guys over at The Pirate Bay and nothing to be worried about. The new tracker describes itself "as a tribute to the fall of MediaDefender" and was registered to the admins of the The Pirate Bay. EZTV will now be using the tracker "tv.mivii.org" for its TV releases.



Just another parting shot at MediaDefender as it dies slowly.

  As for the article, I am starting to wonder if somehow this may turn out to be a bad thing. I mean, what if MediaDefender somehow finds a way to spoof that as a tracker and now people think it's ok because TPB legally has it registered.

  Yeah The PirateBay is an unusually ACTIVE site!
  I prefer it alongside ISOHUNT and to some lesser extent Torrentz.com
  search engines.

  what a waste of time waiting,typing codes and one-by-one getting each files and speed is AWFUL!!
