A diligent researcher has found a further peice of legislation clarifying a Michigan state law, guess who falls foul of it.
http://www.p2pnet.net/story/16902The discredited RIAA ‘private eye’ has been, and still is, operating without a license, says Recording Industry vs The People.
MediaSentry has already been banned in Massachusetts and now, “We have recently learned that computer forensics technicians are required to be licensed under Michigan law, that the Department of Labor and Economic Growth has always taken that position, and that several months after the DLEG’s MediaSentry investigations began in Michigan, the State enacted a statute codifying the DLEG’s position,” says RIvTP.
"Specifically, the act specifically covers any business that contracts to make an investigation for the purpose of obtaining computer forensics to be used as evidence before a court. “Computer forensics” is defined by the new law as: “the collection, investigation, analysis, and scientific examination of data held on, or retrieved from, computers, computer networks, computer storage media, electronic devices, electronic storage media, or electronic networks, or any combination thereof.” Clearly this includes any and all of MediaSentry’s activities in the RIAA cases."
I ask the same thing each time we hear of yet more laws being broken by these criminals, when will they be enforced and reinforce the concept of the law being applicable to all and not just for the use of those with hard cash reserves.
