A US ISP which claims that it wants to protect the privacy of its subscribers has filed a lawsuit against the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
SBC Communications has claimed that more than 200 subpoenas from the RIAA have been issued from the wrong jurisdiction.
The ISP said that the RIAA's demands for information on file sharers are too broad and cannot be grouped under one subpoena, according to reports from Associated Press.
SBC Communications also said that the RIAA's use of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act interferes with customer privacy.
The ISP describes itself as a "passive conduit" which cannot control the activity of its customers.
The RIAA told Associated Press that it is disappointed by the move which it refers to as "procedural gamesmanship".
