EFF provides discreet RIAA subpoena query form


Have you have ever wondered if your file-sharing username or IP address have been subpoenaed by the RIAA, but were afraid to ask? Check here to see if you are on the hit list filed with the
D.C. District Court. The Electronic Frontier Foundation drew the
information from the court's publicly available PACER database and is
updated when that system is updated. The database was last updated on Monday
August the 4th.

At EFF we respect your privacy and the last thing we'd want to do is create a treasure trove of information about you that could itself be subpoenaed by the RIAA or anyone else. IP addresses are not logged anywhere on the EFF website. In addition, we are not logging any searches to this database. We think that free speech requires privacy and anonymity -- whether you're researching a medical problem or trying to find out if you're about to be sued. So rest easy about searching here -- if the RIAA comes knocking on our door, we will have no identifying information to give them about you or anyone else. We recommend similar privacy-protective policies to ISPs.

At this point, it seems that the RIAA still only has 205 subpoenas filed. But this method of looking up your IP can be a real stress reliever as other listings on the net merely show user names which are not conclusive. Another link on the site is rather informative as well if you look deep enough. "How not to get sued by the RIAA for file-sharing (and other ideas to avoid being treated like a criminal)." For instance, the EFF indicates that the RIAA is targeting supernodes on FastTrack and what you should do about it. Other useful information on the site includes what to do if your ISP has been subpoenaed for your name and address. Also, there is some guidance in the event you receive a cease and desist letter from the RIAA.
