Taking a Closer Look at the P2P Subpoenas

An anonymous reader writes "Cnet is reporting a federal appeals court on Tuesday scrutinized the details of a 1998 copyright law, wondering whether it permits the wide-scale unmasking of alleged peer-to-peer pirates by the music industry." The issue, of course, is the constitutionality of the DMCA subpoena process which is among the more evil components of the often-criticized law.

Boy, the Slash Mods Missed This One!

Still looking to find a legal loophole to avoid being penalized for knowingly breaking the law. Sad. /b>

Under regular Slash Mod rules, isn't the parent a "troll" or "flamebait"? I mean, it attacks one of their babies with (Good Lord!) witty truth!

In the 1940's a number of american scientists went missing to go work on secret projects. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of, however people became curious where some of these people went, either loved ones, reporters, and perhaps the odd spy or two.

The easy way they found out where they were going was to go to the respective person's local library and either see the last book they checked out, or just comb the shelves for books on the states. And behold, it was easily established the last book checked out by all the people on the Trinity project were books on the state of Nevada.
