RIAA's SafeNet Caught In a Lie

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "For the past 2 years, the RIAA and its attack dog SafeNet (formerly known as MediaSentry) have been trying to avoid disclosure in UMG v. Lindor by telling the judge that MediaSentry is NOT an expert, that it does not use any technical expertise to get the 'evidence', and that it does only 'what any other Kazaa user does'. We have just discovered that in administrative proceedings in Michigan, attacking it for engaging in the business of investigation without a license, MediaSentry has taken the exact opposite position, comparing itself to chemical engineers, surveyors, physicians, geologists, and other expert witnesses who rely on their technical expertise. Today we went public with some of the contradictions. Now let's hope Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Growth finds out about it."

    So you're saying that in a few years the global warming bullshit lie and the oil shortage bullshit lie will be trampled under by the government and we'll have sub-$2 a gallon gas again?

    Why would I need a license to engage in gainful employment? Why should the government regulate investigative powers?

    "Land of the Free" doesn't have much meaning when the government can stop anyone from performing their own police work.
