Court Rejects RIAA Music Downloading Subpoenas

From the EFF press release this afternoon:

  • A Massachusetts district court Judge Joseph L. Tauro today dealt the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a serious setback by rejecting its Washington, D.C., subpoenas for the identities of Massachusetts students. For the moment, MIT and Boston College need not respond to the RIAA demands.
  • For more information, see my July 23 posting, RIAA vs. MIT & Boston College Over File-Sharing Student Info.
  • In related news see: Congress, the new copyright bully, which references the Author, Consumer, and Computer Owner Protection and Security (ACCOPS) Act of 2003, introduced July 16 by Rep. John Conyers.
