[ga] WSJ Confirms RIAA Fired MediaSentry

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

All,

  It seems that one of ICANN's favorite sons, MediaSentry has
lost favor with another of ICANN's favorite sons, the RIAA and
has been independently confirmed accordingly.

  It's seems that MediaSentry's claims were in every instance
not well founded or even factual at all.  My guess is that
it's current customers will be disassoiciating themselves from
this organization and that civil legal actions will ensue at some
point accordingly.

  Lets hope that the IPC along with ICANN is getting the message.

See:
Two days ago we discussed the  http://www.p2pnet.net/story/18050
earlier p2pnet report
that the
http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/02/189231&tid=123
RIAA had fired MediaSentry (now called SafeNet). Now the Wall
Street Journal is
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123109364085551895.html confirming this
report. MediaSentry has been 'invading the privacy of people,
' the WSJ quotes Ray Beckerman; 'They've been doing very sloppy work.'
Beckerman cites MediaSentry's practice of 'looking for available songs
in
people's filesharing folders, uploading them, and using those uploads in
court
as evidence of copyright violations.' MediaSentry 'couldn't prove
defendants
had shared their files with anyone other than MediaSentry
investigators.' The
WSJ notes, 'In place of MediaSentry, the RIAA says it will use
Copenhagen-based DtecNet Software ApS. The music industry had worked
with DtecNet previously both in the US and overseas, and liked its
technology...'
