RIAA's Boston University Subpoena Quashed
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "As first reported by p2pnet, the motion to quash the RIAA's subpoena seeking identities of Boston University students has been granted, at least for the moment. In a 52-page opinion (pdf) the Judge concluded that she could not decide whether or not to quash until she had seen the college's 'Terms of Service Agreement' for internet service. It was only then she could decide what 'expectation of privacy' the students had. She quashed the subpoena calling for the student identities, and told them they could go ahead with a subpoena just for the terms of service agreement. Interestingly the decision was issued on the very same day as the judge in Elektra v. Barker came to some of the same conclusions."
Good news, but that's still three too many uses of "quash."
Shop as usual. And avoid panic buying.
To have that quashed. It'll turn all purple and stuff, and it'll hurt to pee...
Oh? What's that? SubPEONA?
Nevermind.

Maybe I shouldn't try to post to /. after drinking on a Saturday afternoon. It causes me to revert to "Some place up dar!" Obviously Boston Uni and MIT are much different institutions.
Anyways, the documents I MEANT to find are no where to be found in a quick search. Perhaps someone there can be of use. Anywho, flame me away for my stupidity. Back to drinking!
