Report From RIAA v. Verizon Case

LawGeek writes "Adam Kessel has provided Greplaw with exclusive coverage of today's RIAA v. Verizon hearing, in which the RIAA is attempting to force Verizon to produce information about a user who allegedly shared files using P2P technology. It sounds as though the judge had a good grasp of the technology, and has promised to rule quickly. Slashdot has previously covered Verizon's stance on this and other P2P issues."

Re:name of user?

We just sent a guy to prison for sharing some computer software didn't we? And that industry doesn't hold a candle to the revenue or power of the music industry.

And by the way, 70 gigs of mp3's aint shit. There's a guy on Kazaa with something like 600 gigs of divx movie files. Read a story about him once, apparently he's the guy behind something like 60% of all movie transfers through Kazaa.
