IANAL, but intent in seeking subpeonas in DMCA will carry a lot of weight. RIAA was representing a musical artist, and issuing the subpeona based on the musician, NOT the professor.
That they apparently didn't even bother to download, open and listen to the contested file to ensure that it was their copyright actually does not seem to prevent enforcement.
Which is, again, why the law needs revision. The burden of proof for those subpeonas needs to be higher.
