Verizon and the RIAA

In a recent CNET News article Verizon indicates it will pass on notices of purported copyright violations to subscribers in its role as ISP.

Is this in contrast to a court case from 2002/2003 in which Verizon refused to supply identifying data to the RIAA when the RIAA used the DMCA in what it viewed as a legitimate application of that law to subpoena records. See the
Verizon Archive of the case and the EFF archive.

Ultimately Verizon won this case when the Supreme Court let stand a Circuit Court of Appeals decision that Verizon did not have to provide the information that the RIAA requested.
