Reply With QuoteRIAA, you're SOL.
That's basically what the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia told the recording industry today in a decision (PDF) that reverses an earlier court's ruling that the RIAA has the right to subpoena an Internet service provider for names and personal information of its file-swapping users.
The court said that the RIAA has no right to issue subpoenas to an ISP for personal user information when the ISP merely is used as "a conduit for communications" between its users. The court said Verizon is not responsible for what its users do while using the Internet, or what they do with files taken from the Net.
Furthermore, the court threw out the RIAA's argument that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act provides for the protection of music files that are traded on peer-to-peer networks.

Take that RIAA!!
Legitimate, legal music downloading may be winning more users, but the fight over illegal file swapping is hardly over.
Friday's U.S. District Court decision (PDF) calling the RIAA's legal tactics against the law is sure to stoke the fires of the ongoing music wars.
The decision says the RIAA has no right to issue subpoenas to an ISP for personal user information related to file swapping. It also lets ISP Verizon off the hook, saying Verizon isn't responsible for what its users do while using the Internet, or what they do with files taken from the Net.
But the recording industry has already issued more than 2,000 subpoenas, demanding that ISPs give them the names of alleged file swappers. Hundreds of those receiving subpoenas have also been sued. Of those, many have already settled their cases with the RIAA.
