Since when has the RIAA been given the authority to issue National Security Letters, authorized under the Patriot Act, binding the recipient of the subpoena to secrecy under threat of 5 years in the pokey? The only other 'secret' subpoena that can be issued is by the FISA (Intelligence Matters) court. There is no such thing as a 'secret' subpoena in a civil matter. If these were 'secret', the only reason is that the ISP failed to inform that target of the subpoena, either because of incompetence or being totally gutless. Most ISPs privacy policy states that they will notify you should they receive a subpoena for your personal information in a civil matter. If that's the case and they didn't inform you before they forked over the goods, that's a breach of contract on their part. If the ISPs would just stop keeping PPPoE/A and DHCP logs for more than 24 hours, this crap would completely stop. --TurboGeek Secret Subpoena!?
