In its six-page letter, which has footnotes and everything, and is addressed to RIAA President Cary Sherman, the Washington D.C.-based NetCoalition said it fears ISPs are being drawn too deeply into the fight against internet piracy. The letter points out there havealready been examples of mistakes in the RIAA’s subpoena requests, and that there is no judicial oversight for the subpoena demands. It also expressed concern that the record industry is asking ISPs to become the “police of the internet.” Oddly, the letter was not sent via email.
The RIAA has filed approximately 1,000 subpoenas in its recent campaign to punish and deter file-swappers.
