On this week’s TWiTLive, Jim Louderback is one of Leo’s guests. He elaborates more on exactly what happened with the Memorial Day attack on Revision3.com.

I still can’t fathom that another company can come in and do something like this. By the sound of it, it wasn’t a planned attack. It seems that MediaDefender’s machines reacted to a change in Revision3’s setup. That still does not make it right. Revision3 was not doing anything illegal aside from not having a hole plugged up. I would say that MediaDefender should have just called Revision3 up and said they had a hole to close up. However, MediaDefender is obviously not a company with morals and decided to just be jerks about the whole thing. We shall see how this all goes.
