RIAA Expert Witness Called "Borderline Incompetent"
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Prof. Johan Pouwelse of Delft University — one of the world's foremost experts on the science of P2P file sharing and the very same Prof. Pouwelse who stopped the RIAA's Netherlands counterpart in its tracks back in 2005 — has submitted an expert witness report characterizing the work of the RIAA's expert, Dr. Doug Jacobson, as 'borderline incompetence.' The report (PDF), filed in UMG v. Lindor, pointed out, among other things, that the steps needed to be taken in a copyright infringement investigation were not taken, that Jacobson's work lacked 'in-depth analysis' and 'proper scientific scrutiny,' that Jacobson's reports were 'factually erroneous,' and that they were contradicted by his own deposition testimony. This is the first expert witness report of which we are aware since the Free Software Foundation announced that it would be coming to the aid of RIAA defendants."
MafiAA "expert" spanked. Film at 11.
Please say there's film. Please say we eventually see this guy cross-interrogated and his "credentials" and bullshit run through the wringer for all to see.
Never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice.
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
The witness is fully incompetent.
Gosh, your right. He isn't stupid. How about just calling him a whore?
There removed the 4 redundant words in the headline!
When you get bitch-slapped by the DUTCH, you know you deserved it.
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
When asked for comment, Dr. Jacobson responded, "Oh yeah? Well he's a big doodoo head!"
i've had just about enough of your vassar bashing.
Whoa!

When my wife collapsed at work they did some bloodwork and it came back "borderline pregnant". She was told to come back for another test after a few days.
"Borderline"...It's called a euphemism.

Listen to piojo, he knows what he's talking about.
Common slang is "my bad" to indicate that someone takes blame for an error. The opposite would logically be "your bad" and the contra-positive would be "your right" as it was potentially used here. To paraphrase the original, "Gosh, that correct statement that belongs to you!"
