Another university has challenged the RIAA over its practice of snooping on individuals for evidence of illegal file-sharing.

Central Michigan University filed a complaint last month with the state Department of Labor and Economic Growth against the RIAA's anti-piracy investigative arm, MediaSentry, asking that it "cease and desist all investigation activities concerning Michigan individuals" until it obtains a proper private investigator license as required under the Private Detective Licensing Act.

CMU argues that MediaSentry's work of investigating copyright infringement, determining the identities of suspected file-sharers, and gathering evidence requires a private investigator license in Michigan.


I cite irreconcilable differences.

What does that mean, exactly? What's considered 'massive'?
