The really odd thing is that the act also says:
`(2) Access to a record or information required to be retained under this subsection may not be compelled by any person or other entity that is not a governmental entity.'
What does that mean for the MPAA seeking the identity of a bit torrent user?
Means they need to get a subpoena (at which point it's the court, a governmental entity, doing the compelling).
