Doesn’t that violate the FERPA law preventing any access to student data (personal information)? Especially since NO LAW HAS BEEN BROKEN and nothing has happened to cause a court trial…this DINGBAT judge needs to have his head examined, plus needs to be investigated for ethics violations in conneciton with getting kickbacks from the RIAA since there is no legal basis for doing this. Sheesh. I hope the university is successful in fighting those idiots. But if they DO release the personal info, I smell a FERPA-violation lawsuit against the university…

Also, someone needs to track the locations where the RIAA focuses on, and see if they stop sending letters in the areas of the country that have successfully countered them. If they stop sending to those universities and those areas, then that is ammunition to use in a defense: “Your honor, notice how there are NO MORE alleged copyright violations in all of these areas, which JUST HAPPEN to be the exact areas that have successfully fought back against the RIAA. Hmmm…”

after all of the failed lawsuits with people living in houses, imagine it going to court when they have an entire DORM OF COLLEGE STUDENTS

Your honor, I have six people in my room alone and three of them are experienced with computers, any one of them could have downloaded it, or one of their friends could have downloaded it. I used the computer for writing my essays FOR CLASSES.

I would inform Judge Shabaz of a small number of things. That he is under an impression that (the) RIAA has a case, and that he (Judge Shabaz) knows not of what he speaks (orders, on this occasion). Then, in the spirit if the above, I would tell Judge Shabaz that he can “go ’screw’”.

And wait for the inevitable juggernaut. Shabaz is freely making himself a tool of those who insert brass rings thru the noses of those with public power, then drag them around, and he is doing (even if unconsciously) their will.
