appears to be a 25-minute conference call between MediaDefender
executives and law enforcement officials.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/news/web/antipiracy-honeypot-site-exposed/2007/09/18/1189881481729.html"><P>Some of the leaked emails appeared to bolster the idea that

could upload videos and using it to track users who shared
copyrighted files without permission, allegations that surfaced in
recent months among technology bloggers and the online file-sharing
community.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/691885DA-E0F5-42B5-A9CF-BBCD03713693/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
