Do RIAA Demands Violate FERPA Protections?

Posted by timothy on from the what-and-let-the-miscreants-get-away dept.

jorr writes "Bob Liu's commentary 'Copyrights: More Work, More Headaches' questions whether the demands from the RIAA violates due process. He states 'According to FERPA, school officials are permitted to access student records but outside organizations like RIAA would need "to comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena."'"

      It's probably a result of the Slashdot server's tendency to occaisionally shift to posting everything at whatever time it is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, about halfway between Greenwich, England and U.S. East Coast.
