Charter Cable Sues To Quash RIAA Subpoenas

Posted by timothy on from the quashing-baby-quashing dept.

mattOzan writes "Charter Communications, the third largest cable provider in the United States, has filed a motion in St. Louis, Missouri, to block the RIAA's requests for the identities of about 150 Charter customers in the St. Louis area. In the over 1100 subpoenas that have been issued so far, Charter claims they are the only major ISP that has not provided the RIAA with 'a single datum of information.'"

    Well, I would challenge that. I would also say that they have just been lucky, as Verizon, and SBC got targeted sooner, and didn't have much choice about it.
