P2P Copyright Infringement Notice Spam

A really interesting bit of news: spammers have apparently resorted to e-mailing P2P users fake copyright infringement notices, falsely identifying themselves as MediaDefender (part of the RIAA lawsuit apparatus). I don't know if I can put it any better than Ars did, "There's something deeply ironic about the fact that data thieves have targeted content thieves for botnet infiltration." Ironic indeed.
