Appeals court rejects subpoenas to identify music downloaders
(12-19) 07:34 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

A federal appeals court on Friday rejected efforts by the recording industry to compel the nation's Internet providers to identify subscribers accused of illegally distributing music online.

In a substantial setback for the industry's controversial anti-piracy campaign, the three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia overturned a ruling by the trial judge to enforce a copyright subpoena.

3. Good week for the constitution
The Padilla case, Gitmo, now this. It takes awhile for the wheels to turn, but our constitution stands tall against the fascists and looters that try to destroy us.
True patriots fight for the constitution.
