The Senate dept that handles investigations has sent a letter to the RIAA asking what and how they are targeting people with subpoenas. The Senate feels that the RIAA is doing a bit too much snooping.

The RIAA is in the midst of an unprecedented legal campaign ultimately aimed at filing what could be thousands of copyright-infringement lawsuits against individual file-swappers who are accused of offering copyrighted songs over networks such as Kazaa. The group is sending out close to 300 subpoenas a week to Internet service providers and colleges in pursuit of the identities of file-swappers, according to the federal court in Washington, D.C., that is serving as a clearinghouse for the requests.
