RIAA Allowed To Move Forward On Subpoenas Of Multiple John Does

Last week we wrote about an anonymous person fighting back against an RIAA subpoena on multiple points, including that the RIAA had unfairly combined 25 separate cases into a single one. However, lawyer Ray Beckerman is now reporting that the judge has denied this motion (by the way, can someone explain why the "permalinks" to Beckerman's post seem to change repeatedly -- that sort of defeats the point of "permalinks," doesn't it?).

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

Permalinks on my blog
The reason the "permalinks" change on my blog is that certain of the posts are recurring posts which keep getting updated ("Index of Litigation Documents", "Directory of Lawyers Defending RIAA Cases", and "How the RIAA Litigation Process Works"). On Blogger.com, when the updated version gets into a new month or year, there is a slight change in the link. (E.g. "07" becomes "08" when July turns to August, or "2005" becomes "2006" the first time a post is updated in the new year. That is why I have taken to posting identical versions of those blog posts on my website, http://info.riaalawsuits.us, where the links can indeed stay permanent. Sorry about that. Best regards, Ray
