The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has confirmed that copyright holders can't use a "DMCA subpoena shortcut" to identify internet subscribers suspected of copyright infringement. The Court sides with ISP Cox Communications, which intervened in the matter. The ruling blocks a legal tactic filmmakers have used to bypass the traditional, more expensive "John Doe" lawsuits. At the same time, it's also bad news for the MPA and RIAA.

Fucking hate these headlines.

UNMASKING EFFORT DENIED.

PLAINTIFFS REMAIN ANONYMOUS.

RIGHTSHOLDERS TOLD TO GET FUCKED.

Don't give me this quadruple negative shit! You know how a summary works. A legal decision should not be a puzzle.
