p2pnet news view Freedom | P2P:- MediaSentry has been discredited so many times in so many ways by so many people in so many countries it’s hard to believe it’s still around.

But it is — just like some quack medical practitioner or snakeoil salesman who simply moves on somewhere else every time he’s found to be a fake.

Fired by the RIAA, it showed up in Australia where, thanks to its ‘evidence,’ a Brisbane student was thrown out of his dormitory.

And it’s still there, and still being paid to cause trouble.

We’ve seen numerous examples of threats, but we’ve never heard of any actual follow-up legal actions.

Meanwhile, “I received smiliar email from TPG,” said a Reader’s Write yesterday, going on, “this was my reply thanks to G Thompson [NOTE - an ever-helpful Australian p2net reader]   »»»

Hi:

I can categorically state that Media Sentry are NOT authorised to operate within Australia nor to Intercept communications within Australia no matter what they state in the email. In fact stating they can and making published allegations against a specific user with identifiers attached so that the user is made known to other organisations ie: an Australian ISP, Educational Institution, and Rental Accommodation Manager(s) could result in action on defamatory grounds being taken against them if the publication of the information causes damage (which in this case seems likely that it has).

And thinking they are immune since they are outside Australian jurisdiction would be a folly on their behalf and I kindly draw their attention to “Dow Jones and Company Inc v Gutnick [2002] HCA 56? (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/2002/56.htmlsure yet they bought the tickets are)

My understanding is that MediaSentry is covertly monitoring telecommunications without authorisation from an Australian court. Not only has MediaSentry defamed us to an ISP, I believe they’re risking charges of illegal surveillance.

Please let me know your action steps

Should it be not favorable, I may see fit to change to a more suitable ISP

your thoughts guys?

Stay tuned.
