p2pnet news | RIAA News:- MediaSentry has, to use the vernacular, dropped another bollock, panicking as the pigeons flock home to roost.

In a lame bid to try to cover up some of the error(s) of its ways, it’s deleted “investigation” and “gathering evidence for litigation” from its web sites.

“Ray, I am sending you a PDF file printed from MediaSentry’s web page on 2/3/08,” says a Recording Industry vs The People reader, going on:

In the fine print on the left hand side of each of the pages, MediaSentry claims that it [provides] “Investigative Services”, and that “Safenet has extensive experience gathering evidence for civil/criminal litigation and prosecution against those who engage in unauthorized online content distribution”.

When I checked the web page again yesterday, 2/18/08, The page had been completely changed.

Gone from the web page are the terms investigation, and information gathering, and they are replaced with terms like “intelligence services” and “Globally detect, track and deter the unauthorized distribution”.

Looks like a MediaSentry is trying to cover its tracks.

It do.

Did they try to explain the reasons behind the changes to Doug Jacobson or Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG’s RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), do you think?

“Good thing our reader was astute enough to make an historic record, as this *pdf should be useful to many prosecutors and other lawyers who are now trying to disprove MediaSentry’s lies that it wasn’t involved in ‘investigation’ at all, just gathering statistics for a ‘nonprofit organization’,” says Beckerman.

MediaSentry’s credibility is already hanging in tatters.

What’s that hackneyed phrase they keep dredging up to intimidate P2P file sharers?

Oh Yes —- You can run, but you can’t hide.

Pretty soon, even the entertainment cartels will have to drop it is a lost cause.
