RIAA Tactical Legal Victory vs SBC

lurker412 writes "The RIAA has won a tactical victory in its legal battle with SBC Communications/PacBell Internet Services. CNet News reports that a San Francisco judge has moved the case to a District of Columbia federal court. SBC had resisted turning over the identities of purported coyright infringers to the RIAA. While the San Francisco court ruled on procedural grounds only, the DC court is the same one that previously ruled against Verizon in a similar attempt to contest the DMCA."

It's not a case of passing the buck. It's a case of jurisdictional integrity, which you should appreciate that the court had. The law being contested here is a federal law, and therefore is under federal jurisdiction.

Informed decision? Try that yourself ;)
