The Supreme Court has denied the RIAA petition for certiori in the ISP subpoena case decided by the D.C. Circuit last year.

However, this does not end the matter. RIAA subpoenas are also pending in the 4th and 8th Circuits. If either of those courts disagrees with D.C., then the RIAA can come back, this time pointing to a circuit conflict. Since DOJ sides with the RIAA on the issue, such a result is quite possible. It would be inevitable, if they listened to me, but DOJ has a tad more clout.
