*THOUSANDS OF ISP SUBSCRIBERS TARGETED IN MASS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
LAWSUITS WILL HAVE A BETTER SHOT AT DEFENDING THEMSELVES after a
federal judge held on Wednesday that they needed to be notified that
their information was being released by their ISPs and informed of
their legal options, such as the option to challenge jurisdiction. The
judge ordered lawyers from the U.S. Copyright Group (USCG) to work
with Time Warner Cable (TWC), EFF, the ACLU and Public Citizen to
draft a notice for ISPs to send to subscribers when their information
is being subpoenaed.
