Court Rules Verizon Can Refuse to ID Customers to Music Industry

HOORAY! Finally some sense from judges who understand that the MEANS of distribution should not determine the outcome of a case. ISPs, at least in the DC area, do NOT have to rat out their customers, who then have to spend thousands of dollars to defend themselves from what are often completely unfounded charges

"Internet users are the winners in the Verizon case," said Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Staff Attorney Wendy Seltzer. "The effect of the appeals court decision is that we do not lose our privacy simply by connecting to the Internet." [EFF: Press]
