In an effort to protect internet privacy, Verizon has asked for a stay to prevent having to turn over information on a file-swapper. The thing that surprises me, and I wish I had caught when I read the DMCA, was the fact that copyright holders can get subpoenas without a judge's signature. How is it that Congress let this through? You can't get a subpoena without a judge's approval in trials, what makes this so different? It screams, "abuse me."
