Former piracy defendant is suing the RIAA
A WOMAN WHO WAS SUED by the record industry for alleged copyright infringement has struck back with a putative class-action lawsuit charging the Recording Industry Association of America with racketeering.In a 108-page complaint filed in federal district court in Portland, Ore., former defendant Tanya Andersen alleges that the four major record labels conspired with investigative firm MediaSentry "to devise an investigation scheme that was both illegal and seriously flawed."

Good for her. It's ridiculous that they would go through with suing her for so much money over just a handful of songs. The record industry should have found a way to to use file sharing to their advantage rather than prosecuting all the fans.
