Verizon to Reveal Customers in DMCA Subpoena Case
JulisJ writes "NYTimes reports that Verizon will turn over the names of online subscribers accused of swapping music. This could be a big blow to the file-swapping community, even if you're swapping legit." There's also a story on News.com. See our previous story for background.
here is a mirror in case the article gets slashdotted (sure to slashdot me as well i'm sure)

slashdot: where everyone yells sarcastic metaphors to themselves to understand the issue
...Does that constitute filesharing? :)

LOL! That's a good one, "swapping legit"! Do another one, maybe about the "compassionate" conservatism of the Bush administration this time!

This is the reason I only download movies and Tv shows. Music is much too dangerous.
do have to worry about the RIAA/MPAA if I watch my pr0n with the mute on?
This could be a big blow to the file-swapping community, even if you're swapping legit.
Exactly. Both of those people may be forced to use ftp.
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball(TM)
Given that an epidemic of illegal downloading is threatening the livelihoods of artists, songwriters and tens of thousands of other recording industry workers who bring music to the public
Epidemic? Gotta love that spin....If the artists weren't getting bent over by the RIAA in the first place, it'd be even less of an issue.
I've yet to hear of any artists or workers that are pan-handling or have become squeegee people....In other news the RIAA states that file-sharing is causing the sky to fall and the world to flatten!
Methinks Verizon will lose many a customer over this.
Sehr geehrter Toilettenbenutzer!
Back up all data to stranger's off site secure data storage center.
Buy a couple of new hard drives.
Move all non-infringing work to the new hard drives.
Buy and install a bench grinder.
Grind down the old hard drives with infringing material on them to dust.
Buy a bench forge.
Melt down dust from grinding hard drives.
Make ingots of the materil.
Ask Drive Savers to recover the infringing material from the ingots, they claim a 95% recovery rate, should be a good test.
Turn over recovered material to RIAA when they come a knocking at the door.
Spend several years in penn for resisting arrest and destruction of evidence.

You never know...
Well the fact that your name is "TrollBridge" prolly didn't help.

I guess the two decks in the player could have been in a prearranged, formal combat between two persons, usually fought to settle a point of honor, but I highly doubt it. I'm sure you meant it was composed of two usually like or complementary parts instead. Too bad you didn't say that.
Hey, I've got an idea, why don't you use the backup service known as Kazaa? They're not very reliable, but they are free. You just share the directory you want backed up, and in a few weeks you will be able to recover it from anywhere in the world. It's a co-operative system, so if you are using it in this way, you should probably download some files from someone else's computer so that you can act as a back up for them as well. Oh, you were doing that already? You'd already backed up several users disks, you say? Well, that was generous of you. And you're being prosecuted for it? Whatever for?
