These are the words of a world renown P2P professor describing the so called evidence put forward by Dr Doug Jacobs the "wannabe expert".
http://torrentfreak.com/riaa-expert-witness-is-borderline-incompetent-080221/In a major file-sharing legal case in the United States, a renowned P2P expert has offered his critique of the expert witness report offered by the RIAA. Prof. Johan Pouwelse’s testimony will be a devastating blow to the music industry as he labels RIAA expert Doug Jacobson’s report as “borderline incompetent”.
In file-sharing cases, the prosecution always claims to have irrefutable, cast-iron, even forensic-quality evidence, with which to batter alleged pirates into defeat. Organizations such as the RIAA claim to carry out their investigations using sophisticated equipment and software which, unlike every other piece of equipment and software in the known universe (especially operated by humans) never, ever goes wrong.
Turning to MediaSentry - the company used to track alleged infringers - Pouwelse says that their systems and techniques have not been properly tested, are “overly simplistic” and “fail the test for accurate peer to peer file sharing measurement”. Additionally, many institutions have received false claims from them, seriously throwing their claimed accuracy into doubt.
Its about time someone came to defend the innocent victims of extortion from the smears, innuendo and lies of the Cartel that are soley designed to mislead the courts into rendering a favourable verdict by guile.
Lets hope this case inserts the counter to flaws and false claims made by the music mafia into the public record to be used in other cases where they have mislead Court officials and juries.
