Judge to Allow MediaSentry Evidence in File-Sharing Trial

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on July 22, 2009 - 11:57am.
Boston - A federal judge has denied accused file-swapper Joel Tenenbaum's motion to suppress evidence from MediaSentry, the firm hired by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to monitor file-sharing and help identify suspected copyright infringers, according to the Recording Industry vs. The People blog. The judge rejected claims from Tenenbaum's attorney, Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson, that MediaSentry was not registered as a private investigator in Massachusetts, and that it violated federal wiretapping laws -- citing a number of previous file-sharing cases where similar claims were rejected.
