'Jane Doe' Lawyer Glenn Peterson Talks With GrepLaw

Posted by timothy on from the sue-you-sue-anybody dept.

scubacuda writes "Glenn Peterson, attorney at McDonough Holland & Allen, represents 'Jane Doe,' one of the first to fight the constitutionality of recent RIAA subpoenas. In this GrepLaw interview, Glenn gives his thoughts on recent RIAA strong arm tactics, Matt Openheim's assertion that Jane Doe's arguments have 'already been addressed by a federal judge,' and the danger of giving subpoena power to anyone pretending to have a copyright claim."

    Too late, it's already being circulated on my post-trading network! I've distributed it to dozens of users already, and the list is expanding rapidly! Bwahaha!

    This is going to be bigger than the Star Wars Kid :-)

    From the interview:

    • The scenario Jane Doe is fighting is the one where you don't know about the subpoena until the RIAA shows up at your door with a summons and a lawsuit. In any case, I strongly suggest seeking legal advice to deal with it. That's not a plug for lawyers, it's just that
    • I've heard lots of people voice bad ideas about how to respond and many of those ideas would just make a bad situation worse.

    Wow, it looks like he reads Slashdot.
