NewYorkCountryLawyer's Journal: What Data &/or documents to request from MediaSentry?

The Slashdot and Groklaw communities were so helpful in preparing for the deposition of the RIAA's "expert" witness, Dr. Doug Jacobson, we thought we'd come back and ask for your thoughts on what documents and/or data to request from the RIAA's 'investigator', MediaSentry, Inc. The documents we have so far are just printouts, which were used at Dr. Jacobson's deposition, specifically exhibits 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14. Of course we have some ideas of our own about what to demand, but we want to leave no stone unturned. For the technical minded among you, this is your chance to be a part of bringing the RIAA's litigation campaign down.

2. If media sentry thinks it has right to

Particularly their procedures for reducing false positives.

If they can't produce any then you can present realistic scenarios where obvious false positives could occer (eg remix's that go buy the same title but are through a different label).

Thank you

Thanks for your ideas.

RIAA and MPAA partnerships

If possible, I'd suggest fishing for information about RIAA and MPAA partnerships. I don't know what you might turn up, but it would seem like fertile ground.
