MIT Releases Subpoenaed Student's Info
An anonymous reader submits: "MIT has released the name of the alleged infringer whose information was subpoenaed by the RIAA. The student's position? He was (1) not in the country at the time of the infringement, (2) he does not own a computer, and (3) he is not, and has never been, associated with the username in question (crazyface@KaZaA). MIT initially opposed the subpeona, but the RIAA refiled with the proper court."
Yeah right..
"In particular, on June 27, at the time of the alleged infringement, I was in Romania."
So that means he's actually under the authority of the Romanian Industry and Art Association right?

"Lets sue some little girl with no money! Oops, maybe that wasn't such a hot idea. I know, I know! Lets get some student who doesn't have a computer at all! That'll learn 'em!"
Capture some Kazaa usernames, perform a tracert to follow the usernames traffic back to it's origin so they can shotgun subpoena the the infringers?
/REAL/ finger pointing comedy as soon as they hit a company that's using one of those simpleminded ISP "gateway" routers with NAT & DHCP!

RIAA: {looks at list of IP #'s) There's the Perp's PC with IP Address we're looking for! Seize it!
Company: Nope, that's just a Dos Print Server.
RIAA: {looks at list again} ok than, how about that thing over there? It's Ip address is also on the list.
Company: Umm sorry, that's the Router.
RIAA: {points to the nearby tower} That's our infriger than!
Company: {sighs} That's the Novell 3.12 server, Mr pointy hair. It couldn't play a tune even you reformated it and installed windows server on it because it doesn't even have a sound card!
