Media Defender , the notorious anti-piracy gang working for MPAA (American Film Association), the RIAA (American Recording Association) and a number of other independent media companies, launched its own service for downloading video clips miivi.com. The site’s sole purpose is to trick people into downloading copyrighted material and arrest them for it.
Media Defender is known for its unclean tactics. In addition to launching their service, they also involve people in downloading fake torrents, collecting their IP addresses and sending complaints to providers.
Fortunately, most of these fake trackers are already blocked by special software, such as
PeerGuardian . However, they manage to collect the IP addresses of thousands of users who still fall into their trap.
Now they want to do the same with the fake video download service. They registered a new domain and launched a site with a Web 2.0 style name
“wiivi.com” . Miivi offers high-speed access to blockbusters such as
“300 Spartans” (don't download), attracting people to download copyrighted content.

Apparently, the letters with the requirements to stop the work that they send out are not enough for users of P2P networks and sites for sharing videos, such as YouTube. At the end of the article is attached a screenshot of information on the WHOIS site, it speaks for itself. No matter how bad piracy may seem to some people, they MUST NOT fight it in this way.
Here is what I offer: download and download as much legal content as possible with the name
“THIS SITE - GIVE” , let's see if their servers can handle it.
Update: Miivi is lying, apparently our plan worked ...
Update: they changed the
WHOIS information.
