The Tech Live staff has culled the names from the list of subpoenas the RIAA has already targeted for legal action. This is not the complete list but merely the portion already filed.
The following user names were culled from subpoenas filed with the US District Court in Washington, DC. All subpoenas, incidentally, are being served by the Los Angeles law firm of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. A total of 253 RIAA subpoenas were listed as of July 22 through the federal court system's paid online database,PACER. The actual subpoenas are available to view online in about half the cases. The court documents don't show individual users' real names. They do show file-sharing network user names, the user's ISP, the user's IP address, and a sampling of copyright songs the user allegedly made available for download. To date, many ISPs have been contacted, including Pac Bell Internet, SBC, Charter Communications, Comcast, Adelphia, RCN, and Time Warner. |
The RIAA has now issued a total of 911 (I don't like that number) subpoenas to Internet service providers across the United States, trying to get the names of people still offering music on file-sharing networks. It looks like Kazaa users will feel the heat first. You can se the list here. It's getting serious folks. Be careful.
