The next time a series of law suits are announced you could be on the receiving end if you are an illegal file-sharer."</I><BR/><BR/>2 highranking US lawyers for the american section of the IFPI (RIAA) told the judge that the RIAA contracts with media sentry must be secret because they contain information about means of networkusage to infringe copyrights that their investigators are unable to detect and that they fear that this knowledge could become public if Defendant can see this information.<BR/><BR/>Now the question; who is lying here?<BR/><BR/>Mr. Gabriel and Mr. Buckley in their statements under this perjury thingy or this other guy for these <I> well-known and respected record companies</I>?<BR/><BR/>maybe Ray you should call Mr. Kennedy as a witness to find out if he is a chairman and chief executive that tells the british press bullshit or if he really knows what he is talking about and those other 2 "RIAA-boys" are just those that does not tell the truth to the judge? ;-)Alter_Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861406779872744163noreply@blogger.com
