RIAA ‘expert’ witness
p2pnet news | RIAA News:- MediaSentry, in an attempt to stonewall discovery in UMG v Lindor has turned over nothing other than a collection, apparently a complete collection, of its publicly filed affidavits.
However, these do make interesting reading indeed, and as comments started trickling in on my blog, I realized that for the technically minded among you there are probably a number of good laughs in these materials.
So in keeping with the Slashdot community’s analysis of the RIAA’s not very expert, ‘expert’ witness, I thought they and you might like to take a shot at its not very factual, ‘fact’ witness.

Jon, the headline is wrong!
MS are not the experts, they are the facts
(well Doug J. isn’t an expert either, but he plays that role while MS are the fact guys)
Ray probably can explain the differences between those 2 cats of “witness’” better then I can. (I only know what groklaw told me about the difference in the topic posting there)

Nothing wrong with the headline. Who cares about “groklaw”?
Any of you know what a *true* “expert” is??? eh?

Ex = Used to be.
Pert = Trim and stylish in appearance; High-spirited; vivacious; bold.
Expert = Has-been
Experts are paid to take a side. If you can’t find one to do that, employ anybody.
They don’t just pop up on their own unpaid and tell the truth.
