hate to cross-post SlashDot but I'm surprised this isn't here already:

"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 still don't understand how murderers can get out of jail because the police obtained evidence by false pretenses, yet copyright violators are fined and sent to jail if the evidence or the basis of the lawsuit is obtained by false pretenses (hacking, rootkits, anything else that mediasentry uses). Yay for the fairness of the US Justice System. Where the only criminals are people who don't have enough money to make the laws (reference to all politicians are the highest level of criminals, especially Ted Kennedy).
