Re: did every one recieve this?
I work for Insight. We were told about this on 7/23.
I brought this up to my district VP (as I'm an advocate for digital rights, et al), and I was told that Insight will legally fight any subpeona sent to us regarding this information. We will surrender your information to the RIAA only under court order.
We believe in your right to privacy and will fight to maintain it.
I hope this clears everything up. |

I hope thats true. If it is, I'm glad to see an ISP standing up for the rights of their users.

Some of you may have seen this on the main page if not heres some interesting info on this. The Electronic Frontier Foundation offers filesharing enthusiasts the opportunity to "See If the Recording Industry Is After You". The digital rights activists at EFF began a web page,to search for usernames listed in subpoenas. The EFF also offers timely hints on "How Not To Get Sued By The RIAA". The url is »www.eff.org/IP/P2P/20030725_eff_pr.php.. enjoy |

So far it seems the RIAA is going after just the people who share over P2P, but the logical extension of this is they will eventually go after heavy downloaders too. I'm really shocked they haven't tried to force Usenet providers to remove offending binaries* groups. I expect that'll be the next shot in the RIAA's legal war. |

See Here to find out if the RIAA has a subpeona for your online username:

I personally will not download anything that is commercially available out of respect to the music industry. There are by the way many many "TRADER FRIENDLY" bands that allow their music to be freely traded and downloaded by the online music community. Check out etree.org for more info. I use the heck out of a file sharing software called FURTHUR check it out here: »furthurnet.org/ |

Yup,
I got one on every account I have setup,
did not think about it much, figured it was sent to
all users.. I think it was a CYA statement made up by their attorneys....

Insight is not trying "Sell out" their customers. The letter basically says if Insight is subpena to supply the proper law enforcement agencies information on InsightBB users who are sharing copyrighted software, etc..etc.. or whatever the case may be, then they must do so.
So, if you're not doing anything like this, then you have nothing to worry about.
