p2pnet news | RIAA News:- MediaSentry, Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG’s unlicensed and discredited ‘investigator,’ has repeatedly stonewalled all efforts by Marie Lindor’s lawyer to produce documents and data relating to her RIAA file sharing case.

Instead, it came up with objections and previously filed declarations and affidavits, says Recording Industry vs The People.

Now her lawyer, RIvTH’s Ray Beckerman, has asked judge Robert M. Levy to order MediaSentry to stop stalling and produce the materials.

Lindor (right), 57, is a New York health worker and she’s barely able top turn on a computer or, let alone use it to engage in the massive and illegal distribution of copyrighted music, owned by the Big 4.

But that’s what they accuse her of doing.

“She was, and is, innocent of all allegations and the RIAA bosses have known that since the day they launched their anti-P2P, anti-file sharing lawsuit against her,” said p2pnet, going on:

But it’s the RIAA’s practice to first go after parents, even though they know there’s no merit to their charges.

Soften them up before the corporate legal teams turn on their real targets who are, in 99 cases out of 100, the younger family members, such as Woody Raymond, Mrs Lindor’s son.”

That’s the Big 4 enforcer’s modus operandi.

MediaSentry’s ‘investigative’ techniques have already been slammed in Canada and Holland and Beckerman says he needs the documents to evaluate the integrity of the company’s methods, and the basis for its trial exhibits.

Says Beckerman:

“The RIAA’s expert witness, Dr Doug Jacobson, based his conclusion of copyright infringement entirely upon six txt printouts (see exhibits 6 and 10-14) generated by MediaSentry during the course of the litigation, which, many astute observers have observed, are lacking in scientific support.

“So Ms Lindor simply subpoenaed the backup material (pdf) which most technical people agree is needed to assess the reliability of MediaSentry’s ‘investigation’. (Another subpoena item asked for documents relating to MediaSentry’s ‘licenses’.

“According to at least one state attorney general we know, the correct answer to that would apparently have been ‘none’.)”

Slashdot it!
