Verizon has to turn over names

Posted by geeknews at 8:56 PM on April 24, 2003

Verizon has lost it’s 5th round fight with the RIAA. We can only hope that ultimately the Supreme Court will hear the case.

“Verizon must reveal the names of two Internet customers the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) claims have illegally downloaded hundreds of copyrighted songs from the Web. ”

This ruling is landmark, in that the RIAA will now be able to subpoena Internet Users information without due process. [Internet News]
