MIT Releases Subpoenaed Student's Info

Posted by timothy on Wednesday September 10, 2003 @01:26AM from the stories-are-at-odds dept.

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."

"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!"
