   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-3802
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - Digital Millennium Copyright Act. District court erred in 
   issuing subpoenas on internet providers to obtain personal information 
   about the providers' subscribers who were alleged to be transmitting 
   copyrighted works via the internet through peer-to-peer programs; the 
   internet providers' function was limited to acting as a conduit for the 
   allegedly copyrighted material, and Section 512(h) of the Act does not 
   authorize subpoenas in such circumstances; case remanded with 
   directions. Dissent by Judge Murphy.
