MIT Releases Subpoenaed Student's Info

Posted by timothy on 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."

    McBride here. I just want to reassert that (1) I was not in the country at the time I was on camera and pumping SCOX stock, (2) SCO does not own any computers and so cannot have issued these false press releases, (3) it's all a misunderstanding, [image of a PowerPoint slide reading 'copied code' with a giant semicolon on the left and the right] we thought these line-endings were a SYSV kernel coding practice not something a little more fundamental, Vlad Farted (14), and (5) I am not, and never have been associated with the username gnaa@irc.efnet.net or darl.mcbride@sco.com.
