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."
Oh come on. I can see my comment being moderated as "offtopic", but whatever moderator moderated *this* as offtopic must be smoking farking CRACK.
Do we have a moderator with too many mod points and not enough brain cells on the loose?

Apparently, we do. How many times have we seen prior unmoderated comments modded as "overrated"? Shit, mods, save your negative mods for the *nimp-ies and the goats-ies. This post will be modded -1 troll and -1 offtopic, and I don't give a flying fuck.
