Court Rejects RIAA Music Downloading Subpoenas
From the EFF press release this afternoon:
A Massachusetts district court Judge Joseph L. Tauro today dealt the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a serious setback by rejecting its Washington, D.C., subpoenas for the identities of Massachusetts students. For the moment, MIT and Boston College need not respond to the RIAA demands.
