Verizon Stay Granted
Digital Media Wire reports: “Internet service provider Verizon Communications announced that a federal appeals court has granted its request to stay a lowercourt’s subpoena ordering the company to turn over the identity of one of its customers, an alleged music file-swapper, to the Recording Industry Association of America. The appeals court stayed the order, handed down by U.S. District Court Judge John Bates, that would have compelled Verizon to hand over the customer’s identity within 14 days; the appellate court will likely rule this month if Verizon will be made to immediately turn over the subscriber’s identity. A full hearing before the appeals court on the merits of the subpoena has been scheduled for Sept. 16.”
