A very good article in the Washington
Post on the conflict opposing Verizon and the RIAA concerning the identity
of Verizon users 'accused' of illegally distributing copyrighted music.
According to Verizon's filing, the "RIAA proposes a dazzlingly broad subpoena
power that would allow any person, without filing a complaint, to invoke
the coercive power of a federal court to force disclosure of the identity
of any user of the Internet, based on a mere assertion . . . that the user
is engaged in infringing activity." Furthermore, Sarah Deutsch, Verizon's
associate general counsel, said the record industry is seeking a legally
"creative" way to require the Internet provider to violate its customer's
privacy.
