Verizon Set Back Again in DMCA Subpoena Case

Posted by michael on from the relief-pitcher-needed dept.

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."

    Don't you mean, stealing will still be illegal?

    What stops me from say, going down a list of random people I dont like, and calling their ISPs, then getting their address and killing them all one by one down the list?

    Theres no privacy at all if this is law, anyone not just the RIAA, but ANYONE can claim you are a copyright infringer.

    Verizon Corp. must reveal the identities of two high-speed Internet subscribers accused of illegally trading music online, a federal judge ruled today.

    See, they caught people trading music illegally. They want their names. Verizon not handing over subpoenaed evidence is basically aiding and abetting.

    If you're pirating music, you're breaking federal law, so tough fucking cookies. I hope they fry these fuckers.

    If we want to make it so that working class citizens can steal from the rich, and so that rich CEO's are stomped unmercifully for any transgression, then we can do so. Personally, I like the idea of ordinary working class people getting breaks that rich people do not.


    You may disagree, but if more people agree with me than with you, then you and the CEOs are shit outta luck, huh?
