U.S. withdraws subpoena seeking identity of 24,000 Amazon customers sought as witnesses

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

Federal prosecutors have withdrawn a subpoena seeking the identities of thousands of people who bought used books through online retailer Amazon.com Inc., newly unsealed court records show.
The withdrawal came after a judge ruled the customers have a First Amendment right to keep their reading habits from the government.
