   Establishing the spin

   If you disagree with the RIAA, you point to the large additional burden this places on the courts (and the ISPs). If you support the RIAA (or are the RIAA), you point out how helpful Congress could be if they would let these subpoenas be issued directly on application by a clerk, rather than burdening a judge, as in terrorist wiretapping cases. (After all, aren't music sharers terrorists? They do threaten a core part of the free enterprise system.)

   Yet another reason for ISP not to maintain logs.

   I think ISP's are required by law to maintain logs.

   Guess they can't stop file sharing anywhere outside the US, can they?

   ISPs are not required to keep logs, but if someone asks them for their logs, they are not allowed to destroy the logs without providing the information. If they keep no logs, then they have no information to turn over.

   Nope. No law that says they have to maintain logs. Otherwise Speakeasy users would be in a world of trouble for sharing their connections without installing special logging software.
   
   Also, this sort of thing is going to be more difficult for the RIAA to persue as file sharing networks become more sophisticated. Morphious and Kazaa already have tools to protect privacy and disabling certain "features" which made this all possible to begin with.
