Verizon Set Back Again in DMCA Subpoena Case

NickV writes "Hope is getting direr for online privacy. The US District Court ruled today that Verizon must hand over the names of the two P2P downloaders. Hopefully Verizon can get a stay on the court order by the Court of Appeals. They have 14 days. Support the EFF! Without a serious lobbying group in DC, privacy will continue to be eroded."

But then how

[Angry White Guy]

are we going to catch these terrorists? Obviously it is a plot to destroy capitilsm and instill communism. Give everything away for free!

</sarcasm>

But they didn't do it!

It was a virus!

Stupid Verizon!

I hate those blood-sucking monopolist money-leaching bottom-feeding scum-sucking bastards. I hope they die a quick and unmourned death and free us from their tyranny. Perhaps this suit will play...

Wait, are they the good guys here? Long live Verizon!

Is it just me?

I read that last sentence as:

Without a serious lobbying group in DC, piracy will continue to be eroded!

I hope it's not me.

Have the users in question been notified that they are the ones? It would suck if it turned out that it's me, and that the whole trouble is because I put my extensive "Yaz" collection up on Kazaa for a few days.

THis is fucked up.

I claim copyright. I am a incorporated llc, and this is software i created. I think that slashdot readers may be violating my copyright. I demand that Slashdot turn over the full lists of all their readers so i can sue them.

Can anyone see why they can say no?

I hereby accuse you of an illegal act. Please send me your real name, address, blood type, SSN, and credit card numbers immediately.

Hey, the verizon subscribers weren't convicted of anything either, just accused, so, pony up now, hypocrite.
