FC: Verizon tells RIAA to shove it: "Should be denied!"

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

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.

Also on Friday, a coaliation of nonprofit groups filed an amicus brief 
siding with Verizon:
