Play it again: Tenenbaum team tries to toss MediaSentry evidence
,----[ Quote ]
| The year's second major P2P trial kicks off in one month, and Harvard Law
| professor Charles Nesson wants to mount some of the same attacks that failed
| in the first case. Nesson argues that all of the RIAA's MediaSentry
| investigative evidence must be banned from trial, as the company violated
| wiretap law and private detective licensing law.

MPAA says Real's patent attempt saps RealDVD argument
,----[ Quote ]
| The MPAA has taken Real to court to try to stop the company from selling
| RealDVD, a software that enables users to copy DVDs to a hard drive, as well
| as Facet, a DVD player that can also create digital copies of DVDs and store

| to continue banning sales of RealDVD until a full trial decides whether the
| technology violates copyright law.

RIAA Sued For Racketeering Yet Again
,----[ Quote ]
| A few people have filed lawsuits against the RIAA for racketeering in the
| past, though these charges have always been dismissed. In one such case,
| where the filed charges were dismissed over the summer, new claims were filed
| again charging the RIAA with racketeering for extortion, mail fraud and wire
| fraud in its ongoing efforts involving weakly supported threats against
| alleged file sharers demanding money to avoid being sued.

The RIAA vs. 19 Year Old Cancer Patient
,----[ Quote ]
| Among the RIAA's latest targets in its campaign to sue its customer base into
| submission is a 19-year-old cancer patient. Ciaro Sauro was ruled a music
| pirate after failing to defend herself in court against charges from the RIAA
| that she was sharing music files online. Ms. Sauro has said she couldn't
| defend herself as she is hospitalized once a week, and vehemently denies the
| allegations that she is a pirate.
