Verizon Loses Suit Over Subpoena of Subscriber Info

Posted by michael on Tuesday January 21, 2003 @09:17AM from the riaa-now-knows-if-you're-a-dog dept.

Brian Golden writes "As a result of a suit filed by the RIAA, the identity of a Verizon customer with a penchant for mp3's was ordered to be released. Man, how many people are now sweating bullets trying to remember what they downloaded?" News.com.com also has a story. If you've forgotten about this case, see our earlier story. Verizon wasn't making any sort of principled stand to protect its users' privacy, it just wanted to avoid the costs of complying with the (many) subpoenas it will now receive.
