Summary
When it comes to handing over IP addresses of customers, ISPs are giving
the RIAA the finger. After the RIAA lost a court battle in which a judge
declared that ISPs don't have to play ball with the RIAA's police state
tactics, the nation's largest ISPs are apparently offering no
cooperation whatsoever with the RIAA's ongoing witch hunt. It seems
that the RIAA has not only alienated its entire customer base (all the
people who used to buy CDs but who now boycott them), they've
also managed to tick off the nation's ISPs. Is there any limit to the
number of people the RIAA will 'diss in their "scotched Earth" campaign
to stop online music piracy?

Details
- After an appeals court ruled that Internet service providers (ISPs) do
not have to hand over names of suspected music pirates to the Recording
Industry Association of America (RIAA), ISPs are showing no interest in
the RIAA's latest effort to enlist them in its fight against music
piracy.
- Under the proposal, the RIAA would supply an identifying IP address of
a suspected infringer to its ISP, which would then send a notice of
infringement to the subscriber.
- Armed with that decision, the RIAA issued more than 3,000 subpoena
requests to ISPs and filed nearly 400 copyright infringement actions in
a highly publicized and controversial attack against individual
downloaders.
