Victory! #NinthCircuit Limits Intrusive #DMCA #Subpoenas

The 9th Circuit upheld an important limitation on Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) subpoenas that other federal courts have recognized for more than 2 decades. The DMCA, a misguided anti-piracy law passed in the late 90’s, created a bevy of powerful tools, ostensibly to help #copyright holders fight online #infringement.
