Verizon ordered to release name of subscriber who widely shared songs
[Correction, Verizon's been ordered to do this but it will not comply the appeals process is finished and a final verdict decided upon. As the CNN Technology Correspondent pointed out today this strategy is a signficant change on the part of RIAA which had until now just gone after the peer-to-peer software makers like Napster and Kazaa and the ISPs]
According to a Wall Street Journal story (subscription required) Verizon has been ordered to turn over the name of "an Internet subscriber who allegedly made songs broadly available online."
In a written opinion, Judge John D. Bates said that he granted the "RIAA's motion to enforce, and orders Verizon to comply with the properly issued and supported subpoena from RIAA seeking the identity of the alleged infringer."
