[edit] MediaDefender "ZipTorrent"

In 2007 MediaDefender Inc. created a modification of the popular bittorrent client Azureus, taking over the name "ZipTorrent"^[1]. This modification is in no way associated with the original ZipTorrent standalone client. The MediaDefender Ziptorrent is designed to simulate (spoof) other clients and hinder Bittorrent traffic.
