It's nice to see an ISP stand up to these guys. It would be nice if other ISPs had the balls to do the same.

The Texas ISP Grande Communications also received a signed subpoena in the mailbox, listing 30,000 IP-addresses/timestamp combinations of alleged pirates. However, Grande informed the court that it refuses to identify its account holders. Among other things, it argues that Rightscorp abuses the Court’s subpoena power.

Grande Communications is the ISP in a town about 7 miles from me. Twice the speed, about 2/3 the price of Time-Warner, with which I am stuck with.

Go Grande.
 
So there's a telecom soon to be sued out of business...
 
Good to see someone standing up against those extortionist.
 
Good for Grande. Hope they win on the customer front as well as the legal front.

Rightscorp would love Vegas, attorneys here have subpoena power on behalf of the court. Not only can you cut out that pesky judge, but you can also sidestep the clerk!
 
Hopefully we get some fucking rule changes such that a request of information like this that will be ONLY used to file CIVIL lawsuits come with a fucking court order signed by a fucking judge, and not just rubber stamped by some court clerk.

Unlikely as long as we have obstructionists in congress, and big money buying politicians :(
