Individual challenges RIAA subpoena

Glenn Peterson and Dan Ballard, lawyers with the Sacramento-based law firm of McDonough, Holland & Allen who are representing the “Jane Doe,” said in a statement that the RIAA’s subpoena campaign has far-reaching implications in terms of consumer rights and privacy.

“The recent efforts of the music industry to root out piracy have addressed a uniquely contemporary problem with draconian methods — good old fashioned intimidation combined with access to personal information that would make George Orwell blush,” Peterson said in the statement.
