WSJNot "hired to collect evidence" or "hired to help prepare legal cases against" -- but "hired to dig up dirt." Keep in mind that this "dig[ging] up dirt" consisted of nothing more than documenting publicly available information that those using p2p software willingly expose to the world.

Comments here are moderated. I appreciate substantive comments, whether or not they agree with what I've written. Stay on topic, and be civil. Comments that contain name-calling, personal attacks, or the like will be rejected. If you want to rant about how evil the RIAA and MPAA are, and how entertainment companies' employees and attorneys are bad people, there are plenty of other places for you to go.

I also like the use of "broken up with." Totally didn't know those two were dating.
