Californian woman has filed a case against the music industry lobby group RIAA in order to get a subpoena that was filed against her, to be overturned.
According to her — she has filed the case anonymously and is only referred as “Jane Doe” in court papers — lawyers, RIAA’s methods of seeking individuals’ personal information from ISPs by using the DMCA law’s subpoena clauses, violate her privacy and her constitutional rights.
“This [seeking personal info of file swappers] is more invasive than someone having secret access to the library books you check out or the videos you rent,” said Glenn Peterson, one of the attorneys, in a statement.
She is the first individual to challenge RIAA’s rights to obtain personal data after Verizon lost its subscriber privacy case in New York against RIAA.
