Is RIAA's Linares Affidavit Technically Valid?

Posted by kdawson on Monday July 2, 2007 @03:51PM from the helping-out-the-judge dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "In support of its ex parte, 'John Doe,' discovery applications against college students, the RIAA has been using a declaration by its 'Anti-Piracy' Vice President Carlos Linares (PDF) to show the judge that it has a good copyright infringement case against the 'John Does.' A Boston University student has challenged the validity of Mr. Linares's declaration, and the RIAA is fighting back. Would appreciate the Slashdot community's take on the validity of Mr. Linares's 'science.'"

Got to love slashdot. Someone asks for a technical view and they get offered totally unqualified, free, legal commentary from someone who has 'scanned' TFA, and it's marked 'Insightful'.

There should be lots to argue about.

I believe that's what lawyers do.
