Subject: pho: RIAA v Verizon Appeal Today
Oral arguments will be made today in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals
to reverse the Bates' DC District Court decision of January '03 that
forced Verizon to obey the RIAA's subpoena and reveal the names of
subscribers accused of making copyrighted music files stored on their
personal computers available for download by others using P2P software.
At issue is whether or not the DMCA can be used to compel an ISP to
liability and action for content stored on property that doesn't
belong to the carrier but rather its subscribers, and whether or not
the DMCA subpoena process is legally valid without the authority of
judicial oversight. Should the court rule to reverse (that is,
declare the underlying subpoena process invalid) - which it could do
immediately or months from now - the current RIAA litigation campaign
would be effectively thrown out the window and into chaos.
I'd like to wish the greatest succes to Fred and Sarah and all their
associates in court today. I'm sure there are at least 261 others
with even more heartfelt hopes.
Cheers,
Kevin Doran
