Prosecuting Music Piracy, a RIAA training video for prosecuting attorneys, has leaked onto the net — it focuses on busting counterfeit CD vendors, and talks about how prosecutors should also use music piracy as a charge against drug dealers with large music collections:
Starring ex-prosecutor Deborah Robinson and Frank Walters, an ex-Maryland State trooper, it was made to "assist in the training of U.S. prosecutors responsible for handling music piracy cases."It includes footage from "surveillance" videos and, "techniques on how to identify illegal sound recordings and highlights," not to mention, "examples of how illegal music is sold."
And here's the kicker.
It even claims to provide instructions on, and we quote, "qualifying an RIAA investigator as an expert."
So that's where Doug Jacobson and MediaSentry acquired their skills!
