- ibanezdtx120, on 03/13/2008, -1/+65I dont understand why more of the defending lawyers haven't raised this issue with their lawsuits. MediaSentry has clearly been operating as a private investigator without any kind of license.
- silentphoenix, on 03/13/2008, -2/+66i live in michigan, and thats the first thing that the state has done right for once
- whiteknives, on 03/13/2008, -4/+64Obligatory: ***** THE RIAA
- newyorkpaulo, on 03/13/2008, -1/+40I love it!
- darkecho, on 03/13/2008, -3/+28wait wait wait... Michigan.. *does double take*.. MICHIGAN!!! Since when has Michigan been noticed for doing something good lately. After watching Sicko and Bowling for Columbine and the news, I was thinking "man, Michigan isn't really good for much anymore"
Now that we are starting to do something good, kicking Granholms ass out of office should be next on the list.
/coming from someone who lives in Michigan. - XxXKUL, on 03/13/2008, -0/+23Great, now fix the damn roads
- etx313, on 03/13/2008, -1/+22Go Michigan! ***** the RIAA!!
- schmiggyjk, on 03/13/2008, -4/+23Now if someone would get rid of Granholm we would have us one hell of a good start in Michigan.
- mojojeetsoo, on 03/13/2008, -1/+20Most likely because none of these lawyers knew to put the two and two together (but it only takes one). After all, not every state requires a PI license.
I'm a lot more worried about the fact that the "making available" attack from the RIAA lawyers is getting the kind of recognition in the courtroom. There is no way to know how many copies were made (if any) when someone makes a copy of a piece of copyrighted work available on p2p. - LuckyASN, on 03/13/2008, -0/+18Drive on the shoulder like the rest of us.
- TLecan, on 03/13/2008, -0/+17i knew there was a reason for putting up with the cold here
- xcheats, on 03/13/2008, -1/+16Agreed. Maybe she'll announce a bid to run with Hillary so we can knock out two idiots with one kick.
- cornelje, on 03/13/2008, -0/+13Finally, some good news for us living in the mitten...
We may not have jobs, and our houses are foreclosed, but dammit we can download. And thats what really matters in life. - krekc, on 03/13/2008, -0/+12We would still have Kwame though. :(
- BTConan, on 03/13/2008, -1/+13Hey, I actually like Michigan.
- sockpuppets, on 03/13/2008, -2/+14An illegal mathematical constant. Those bastards.
- IEatHamburgers, on 03/13/2008, -1/+13*Detroit* would still have Kwame. The surviving parts of Michigan would still have that hell of a good start.
- strategy, on 03/13/2008, -1/+11Steve Jobs
- mrblonde314, on 03/13/2008, -0/+10Yeah dude, once you get older and you realize that EVERYWHERE sucks balls you'll start to realize that Michigan is actually one of the better states out of the 50. We have 4 seasons, fresh water, an untouched UP north, great sports teams, liberal ideation etc. One day it'll hit you. Michigan is beautiful. And hey..... at least its not Ohio.
- IEatHamburgers, on 03/13/2008, -0/+9But then you won't be supporting our auto industry by trading your old car for a brand new SUV that doesn't have the bottom shredded apart from the potholes!
- cornelje, on 03/13/2008, -1/+10Its Yooper you troll.
- RealmDown, on 03/13/2008, -0/+8What an irrational reply. dugg.
- IEatHamburgers, on 03/13/2008, -0/+8Can't, she's Canadian.
- TheJokerV, on 03/13/2008, -0/+8What planet have you been living on?
- ace429k, on 03/13/2008, -0/+8indeed. i like to play a game called Dodge the potholes. Its like space invaders, but i dont get a gun and the holes arent aliens.
- tomato3017, on 03/13/2008, -0/+7Canadian.... That explains why it sucks here.
- Dantetheinferno, on 03/13/2008, -0/+6I love michigan even more now.
- Hananda, on 03/13/2008, -0/+6We've been a blue state since Nixon, man.
- tomato3017, on 03/13/2008, -0/+6"Grand Rapids represent yo"
Stuff like that makes me want to leave Michigan. I'm only 1 hour from you.... Kalamazoo, MI - inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+6Awesome... Michigan has an EPIC WIN.
- sebby2022, on 03/13/2008, -0/+6I totally agree, this is probably the only thing MI has done right for a while. I live in the UP eh and am disappointed. At least we've bought some time.
- Hoogs, on 03/13/2008, -2/+7Michigan resident here proclaiming this an epic win.
Grand Rapids represent yo. - IEatHamburgers, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4Hey, it's not that cold. Look at today's USA Today - it clearly indicates that the coldest place in Michigan yesterday was 1 degree warmer than the coldest place in Alaska. Break out the air conditioners!
- mrblonde314, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4Yes because there aren't idiots everywhere
/from Michigan - capiCrimm, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4because lawyers aren't really there to think. 99% of the time they're just making the process go smoothly.
- cmoney298, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4wow my retarded state government finally did something right for a change!! GO BLUE!!
- linksdeity, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4I can't agree more silentphoenix. I love in Metro Detroit and it's just bad bad news. I lost my job a couple months ago and it's been hell finding another, it was hell just getting that one. I love the state, but it needs serious help.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -1/+5aka MAFIAA
- SilverBlade2k, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4Let's hope this 'Anti-Media-Sentry' movement is carried across all states..
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4No. Damn Third.
- chiefbandit2200, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4Ohio - the only state in the union that i could identify by smell...
- Cannon49, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4The fact local prosecutors can charge them?
- mrblonde314, on 03/13/2008, -0/+4Maybe they feel with Michigan's economy being one of the worst in the country that free music will help make us not want to kill ourselves for being so poor. I'll probably never move though, I love this state to damn much.
- JulyZerg, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3One thing I hate is retarded spammers who post unrelated links in articles... Ever wondered why everyone diggs you down?
- iwantamonkey, on 03/13/2008, -5/+8Are there licenses for i and e too, or is pi the only irrational number that requires paperwork before using?
- LuckyASN, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3Asians drive 20-30 mph under the speed-limit with their left blinker on. Get your stereotypes right.
- inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3You can't leave. THERE'S NO WAY OUT!!!
- snoogit, on 03/13/2008, -2/+5Lets get rid of the one person who wants to wean the state off the highly unstable auto industry's teat...
When the rest of the country finally starts hitting the ***** (it is) MI will be one of the first to spring back because of the diversity thats being brought in. - inactive, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3I don't know about Michigan, but in Arizona it is illegal to work as a Private Investigator without a license. This is the code that defines what a private investigator does:
Legal Definition of a Private Investigator (ARS 32-2401-16)
16. "Private investigator" means a person other than an insurance adjuster or an on-duty peace officer as defined in section 1-215 who, for any consideration, engages in business or accepts employment to:
(a) Furnish, agree to make or make any investigation for the purpose of obtaining information with reference to:
(i) Crime or wrongs done or threatened against the United States or any state or territory of the United States.
(ii) The identity, habits, conduct, movements, whereabouts, affiliations, associations, transactions, reputation or character of any person or group of persons.
(iii) The credibility of witnesses or other persons.
(iv) The whereabouts of missing persons, owners of abandoned property or escheated property or heirs to estates.
(v) The location or recovery of lost or stolen property.
(vi) The causes and origin of, or responsibility for, a fire, libel, slander, a loss, an accident, damage or an injury to real or personal property.
(b) Secure evidence to be used before investigating committees or boards of award or arbitration or in the trial of civil or criminal cases and the preparation therefor.
(c) Investigate threats of violence and provide the service of protection of individuals from serious bodily harm or death.
If you look at section (b) it would seem that all of the Media Sentry activity in Arizona has been conducted illegally. I think I will write the local law enforcement agencies a little note. - crapple, on 03/13/2008, -0/+3True words never spoken mrblonde - I moved out of MI 2 years ago, and if winters were 2 months shorter, and the economy wasn't in the toilet, I'd be back tomorrow. I miss the state itself, and you can't beat a Michigan summer if you tried! Camping in the UP, swimming/boating near Grand Haven, and being able to sit on your porch with a grill and some booze and enjoying a nice evening.
