["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  It seems yet again that the RIAA is up to it's same old
shanagans.

writes "An anonymous University of Michigan student, targeted by the
RIAA as a 'John Doe,' is asking for the RIAA's investigator, SafeNet
(formerly MediaSentry), to be

prosecuted criminally for a pattern of felonies in Michigan. Known to
Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Growth the agency regulating
private investigators in that state only as 'Case Number 162983070,' the
student has pointed out that the law has been clear in Michigan for
years that computer forensics activities of the type practiced by
Safenet require an investigator's license. This follows the

submissions by other 'John Does' establishing that SafeNet's

changing and inconsistent excuses fail to justify its conduct, and that
Michigan's legislature and governor  http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16902
have backed the agency's position that an investigator's license was
required." SafeNet/MediaSentry
http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9114371
defended their actions by claiming their company simply "records public
information available to millions of users. If private investigator
licenses were required to do what MediaSentry does, every user on
Limewire and other illegal p2p networks would be required to have a
license. Indeed, every search engine and Internet user would be required
to have a private investigator license if MediaSentry needs one."
