    EFF Statement on Court Order Requiring Verizon to Identify Users Pending
    Further Rulings
    "RIAA's claim that it has an emergency need to violate the privacy of the
    two Verizon users is weak, especially since one of those users has already
    filed a declaration stating that he has disabled KaZaA entirely," said EFF
    Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "Once again, RIAA has shown that it is willing to
    sacrifice normal procedures and processes that protect Americans' privacy
    and constitutional rights to protect its business model. The over 60 million
    KaZaA users (more people than voted for our President) are sending a clear
    signal that the industry is failing to meet their needs."
