    On Friday, Verizon filed its formal legal opposition to the Recording 
    Industry Association of America's request for info about a Kazaa user. RIAA 
    has invoked a turbocharged subpoena process possibly available to it under 
    the Digital Millennium Copyright Act; Verizon says that the procedure does 
    not cover peer-to-peer users. A judge gets to decide which side has the 
    better argument.
