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."
