Subject: Music industry hasn't justified ID-ing file-sharers/Public
Citizen press release
Public Citizen has filed two "friend of the court' briefs in lawsuits
brought by record companies against file-sharers.
In both cases, which are pending in Pennsylvania and Georgia courts, Public
Citizen argued that the music industry has not shown adequate justification
for unveiling the identities of anonymous online music "pirates."
In the briefs, the group are asking both courts to require the record
industry to follow procedures designed to protect the privacy of Internet
users in its latest round of lawsuits against unnamed alleged music
file-sharers.
