Groklaw Interview with Sarah Deutsch, Esq. on RIAA v. Verizon (Groklaw)

Groklaw interviews Sarah Deutsch, vice president and associate general counsel for Verizon and lead attorney on RIAA v. Verizon. "Deutsch: This case involved considerable dangers for privacy, safety and First Amendment and anonymous speech because the form subpoena could have been used not only to find out subscriber information for P2P file sharing, but for any website you visited, chatroom you participated in or even an email you sent. Many people do not realize that your IP address is visible everywhere you go on the Internet -- when you send an email, visit a website, or chat room, these numbers are visible. The service provider holds the key to link this IP number with a name, address or phone number."
