Mediasentry Violates Cease & Desist Order 216
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "On January 2, 2008, the Massachusetts State Police ordered MediaSentry, the RIAA's investigator, to cease and desist from conducting investigations in Massachusetts without a license. Based on what appears to be irrefutable proof that MediaSentry has been violating that order, the Boston University students who tentatively won, in London-Sire v. Doe 1, an order tentatively quashing the subpoena for their identities, have brought a new motion to vacate the RIAA's court papers altogether, on the ground that the RIAA's 'evidence' was procured by criminal behavior."

These legal issues with Mediasentry are petty technicalities. The important thing is that greedy pirates are trying to entertain themselves with content without paying. This isn't fair to the labels, artists, or countless artisans involved in this hard work.
Every Madonna song you download illegally impoverishes the people of Malawi. Please pay the market price for this regulated scarcity.

Ummm, yeah. A link to another site (the 5th link down the posting mind you) with an embedded PDF, in a blog posting which doesn't even contain the words "irrefutable proof"
*laugh* You damned lawyers are just too used to the sheer volume created by your profession to assume us normal folks would ever find that. That's not exactly the most glaring nugget of information available from the link.
Cheers

Hell, give me 15 minutes, Ricky Martin, and a length of rubber hose, and I'll get him out to your IP apparently in Brazil *personally*.
