Pacific Bell Internet Services jumped into the contentious music-downloading fray late Wednesday, filing a lawsuit against the recording industry and questioning the constitutionality of the industry's effort to track down online music sharers.
Pac Bell’s Internet arm sues music industry over file-sharer IDs
PBIS claims that more than 200 subpoenas seeking file-sharers’ e-mail addresses were issued from the wrong court of jurisdiction. Moreover, PBIS said the recording industry’s demand for information on multiple file-sharers cannot be grouped under one subpoena, and that the demands themselves are overly broad.
Seems RIAA is in such a hurry to get these subpoenas out the door that they can’t be bothered to do it right.
