IANAL, but intent in seeking subpeonas in DMCA will carry a lot of weight. RIAA was representing a musical artist, and issuing the subpeona based on the musician, NOT the professor.
That they apparently didn't even bother to download, open and listen to the contested file to ensure that it was their copyright actually does not seem to prevent enforcement.
Which is, again, why the law needs revision. The burden of proof for those subpeonas needs to be higher.
Re-read the answer carefully. RIAA was acting on behalf of the musical "artist" (ahem) Usher, not Prof. Usher. They got the take-down because they thought (incorrectly) that the mp3 they saw was for the musician they represented. They screwed up big-time, but technically, under the law, they had the right to make the attempt.
Which of course is why the law is in need of revision!
Ah, yes, Alice in Wonderland. I remember it now. I actually have it (and Below the Root) for my C64 emulator. But I can't remember the damn controls!!
It was the first in a trilogy. I don't remember the name of the whole trilogy, but as a kid, I do remember reading them all. We did manage to acquire them, but we bought them from a local library that was closing. I don't have them anymore, and I doubt that my mother kept them, either, so I think they're lost to time.
It seems familiar... I remember a monocle puzzle in Monkey Island 2... But I don't remember this specific phrase, so that's probably not the reference.

Below the Root.
(Extra credit, people: Who actually read the books once they finished that game? Who read them before the game existed?)

I know that one, and don't know why either.
How about these two easy ones?
