So , tell me how different this would be in a McCain administration.
How was it different in the Bush administration ?
This Obama blah blaaa crap is pretty goddam tiresome.
At least have the honesty to admit that corruption is party agnostic and
‘your guy’ would have been no better.

So first comes the MediaSentry secret & private investigations. The university is then contacted by HRO asking that it forward “Dear Sir or Madam- we have discovered your IP address” extortion letters to its students. This uses the university staff to do the dirty work. For those students who did not settle, next comes the “John Doe – ex Parte lawsuit phase”, (the University is then again forced to use its money and resources to identify those student by name that MediaSentry “has discovered”). This forces the University into bed with the RIAA. After the “Doe” lawsuit phase and the courts force the university to roll over, and release the names of it’s students, (those names that match up to MediaSentry’s guess work) , the phone calls and threats of lawsuits start. By now, Morgan S is making the calls from the Settlement Center, and Donald is sending the HRO letters. While this is going on, the university is contacted about “anti file sharing” software called Audio Magic. It comes with the promise of ending the “file-sharing problem”. This is “Expert Witness” Doug Jacobson’s baby. He gets a kick back from the sale of Audio Magic. Not to be left out, the RIAA once again slithers into the picture, with… (Until its demise) the RIAA approved “Ruckus” program, or some similar RIAA sponsored program DRM laden music program. These programs are also sold to the University to “minimize the problem”. Through this whole process, Federal and State money that should be used by the University to beef up its academics or lower the cost to the students gets funneled back into the greedy paws of the RIAA. Out from under the rocks and crevices in Washington DC, “entertainment” lobbyist buy Congress to promote legislation that would require that any Universities that receives Federal Money be required to have programs in place to combat “Piracy” or loose their aid. In the Organized Crime world, words like “money laundering”, “extortion”,” fraud”, “bait & switch”, “bribe”, “kick back”, and “corruption”, as well as a host of other descriptions would flow. Sad to say, the term business as usual applies,… and the tax-payers foot the bill. Just follow the bouncing ball.

The odd thing is that US laws state that the license needs to be valid in the state that the charges are filed and tried.
Very certainly, that should mean MediaSenseless is breaking the law in 99% of these cases.

Completely agree – but if you have been following the litigation over on Ray Beckerman’s blog, the RIAA/Media Sentry are attempting to create that entirely disingenuous concept of “wiggle room”, by removing the word “investigation” from their web site and responding to the Massachusetts cease and desist order by declaring that they are not a private investigator.

If Media Sentry IS licensed as a private investigator in at least one state, then that makes any argument of legal ambiguity by them (in my opinion) moot.

Please don’t take my post(s) in any way as an endorsement of their tactics; your characterization of them as corporate terrorists is entirely appropriate.

I myself dont see such wiggle room being necessary when they are clearly commiting criminal acts in facillitation of their “corporate terrorism” agenda.

Aside from that minor comment, excellent work Jon, I,ll be linking to this from my own site.

too many palms have been greased already.. the world is corrupt from the top down, not the other way around..

u, and others have to realize, orwellian 1984 is already here, its not coming, its here. FBI shut down a few million innocent users access to 911 because MPAA told them that a ‘certian’ host was infringing on their copyright. the FUDS showed up and pulled the plugs, in amerika, land of the free.

if you are not already shopping around for a vpn, you should be… darknets encrypted packets in the late ’90’s

if you want to free your country if industry influence, then vote with your wallet.. it’s the only thing they will understand.
