Michigan Law Requires MediaSentry to Seek Investigator License

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on September 5, 2008 - 10:16am.
Los Angeles - The state of Michigan has passed a law that will require MediaSentry, the computer forensics company that record labels have contracted with to collect IP addresses of suspected file-swappers, to acquire a private investigator's licenses in the state, Ars Technica reports. The state had already determined in February that MediaSentry was acting as an unlicensed private investigator, but the new law could cause at least a speed bump in ongoing investigations and litigation if MediaSentry is required to seek licenses in Michigan and other states.
