Court Keeps DMCA Subpoena Shortcut Closed, Restricts Piracy Settlements * TorrentFreak
Earlier this year, a Hawaiian District Court blocked movie companies’ efforts to unmask alleged BitTorrent pirates using a DMCA subpoena ‘shortcut’. The filmmakers asked the court to reconsider its position but without success; the ‘DMCA shortcut’ will remain closed. The rightsholders will appeal the order but won’t be able to use evidence previously obtained through settlements with pirating subscribers.
