In the Fight Over Piracy, a Rare Stand for Privacy - New York Times

Kudo's to the author for suggesting strongly that it is time to reign in Copyright lawsuits in the U.S. The CRIA lost a similar case in Canada: BMG Canada Inc. v. Doe, 2005 FCA 193 (CanLII)

With Media Defender's e-mail disclosed and Media Sentry's abilities exposed (hearsay by Music execs) the doubts expressed by our courts without any amendments of anything required, just maybe the State of Oregon can win a case for the people of Oregon. Some of these emails indicated that it might be that there could be no affidavits by the employees of Media Sentry, the weak link in the CRIA case. Exposing those employees to cross-examination of their sworn statement, might be very, very unrevealing, or worse, exposing of perhaps some illegal snooping, spoofing, fraudulent activity, in PIPEDA abiding Canada. Hence the hearsay evidence proferred, in what, a legal gambit, by the CRIA, tried and lost? Oh well, they say they won't sue in Canada ... who and when?
