I've independently received another report of this problem.

RIPE doesn't have an announcement of the prefix, so I think
MediaSentry was in error.

I don't think it makes sense for MediaSentry to check their findings
more closely from a business perspective.  They don't try to download
the infringing material to confirm that redistribution actually takes
place, either.
