RIAA's Oppenheim Tries To Protect MediaSentry
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA's 'Prince of Darkness,' Washington DC lawyer Matthew Jan Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group, who controls and supervises all of the RIAA litigations against ordinary folks, has requested permission to intervene in the 'probable cause' hearing scheduled next week in Raleigh, North Carolina, against MediaSentry. The hearing was convened by North Carolina's Private Protective Services Board, after complaints were filed by a law firm representing a number of North Carolina State University students who had been targeted by the RIAA based on the unlicensed 'investigation' conducted by SafeNet (the new name for MediaSentry). I guess the RIAA is worried. They should be."

i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
"The RIAA's 'Prince of Darkness,' Washington DC lawyer Matthew Jan Oppenheim..."

Could someone please introduce Ray Beckerman to a decent CMS and donate some design work so his site doesn't hurt the eyes?

Oh wait, I thought you said Oppenheimer.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.

They used to be called VAGINA.

You can't take the sky from me.
I use PeerGuardian to help protect MediaSentry from accidentally downloading any potentially copyrighted works from me. I'd feel awful if they inadvertently came into possession of illegal data on account of my negligence. Suppose I mis-named something that I copyrighted? I'd cry if I were forced to sue the fuck out of them for casual infringement.
Thank you, Edward Snowden.

I agree. Sleeping with a few politicians and judges might get some laws changed!
Random Thoughts From A Diseased Mind (Not For Dummies)
Just because you really like a guy (and I like NewYorkCountryLawyer too -- his work is invaluable) does not mean that "Why thank you" is Insightful in any way.
You are of course 100% right about that. I wasn't being 'insightful' or 'informative', I was just expressing my gratitude. But the thing is, sometimes when I do that I get modded down as 'redundant', so this just kind of evens things out.
Ray Beckerman +5 Insightful
Look, this is Slashdot, not a courtroom. Just relax, contribute to the conversation, and don't worry about mods (unfair or otherwise) to other posters. Besides, this is a new thread and odds are his post will be taken down a notch or two anyway. Personally, I'd have given it a Funny mod.
I would have liked that. "Funny" mods are hard for me to come by; my sense of humor has never been one of my strong points.

Speaking of Oppenheim, if you've got a problem... there's only one way to be sure. ;)
