RIAA says No to Tanya Andersen
p2pnet news | RIAA News:- Last month an Oregon woman, victimized by the RIAA for two years, retaliated by bringing a class action for fraud, RICO, malicious prosecution, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, misuse of copyright law, civil conspiracy, and other assorted wrongs, against the record companies, the RIAA, and their investigators, and their ‘enforcers’, in Andersen v Atlantic.
The opening gambit of the record companies, the RIAA, and Settlement Support Center LLC, all of whom are being represented by the same law firm, has been to file a motion to dismiss Ms Andersen’s complaint.
Ms. Andersen is the disabled single mother, who together with her 10 year old daughter, had been pursued by the RIAA for two (2) years, despite the fact that neither of them had ever engaged infile sharing.

bringing a class action for fraud, RICO, malicious prosecution, violation of the Computer Fraud
These are all criminal violations. Where is the justice department and the US Attorney general. I suffered myself from a huge corporation which ended in a confidental agreement. The settlement was an agreement to conceal what the corporation had done. I am no longer permitted to stop the corporation from stealing from me and I cannot exercise my right to file a criminal complaint and cannot ask that someone be charged. Untill the people are free again to report crime and this type of corporate opression, I for one am not helping a government which turns it’s head to corporate crime.

jon, wasn’t she the case in which her daughter’s school was called and her landlord also?
is so she could easily bring up charges against them, and if found guilty whoever paid to have that done can actually do some prison time.
and if so hope they drop the soap in the shower a couple of times!

People need to rise up. The person who obtained the Media Defender emails ought to be commended. The person who did this is giving back to the corporations for all they have given us. The government and corporations do not fear the court system, because they control it. They do not fear peaceful protests because they have their police come in and remove the demonstrators. Neither do they fear customers or taxpayers because they believe that people will keep paying when conditions are made right for doing so. Every day governments and corporations remove just a little bit of our freedom.
People need to realize, once a specific freedom is taken, it is usually never given back. It can be won back, however, through war and strife. What the corporations and governments fear most is the people riding up and using their own technology against them. They also fear people creating and using their own products and not depending on them. It is much harder to wage war when one is dependent on the enemy for his or her needs. This is what it is going to take to return America to the rule of law – people rising up and returning to government and big corporations what they have been doing to us for the last few decades
The war against the media cartels is just now heating up. What the cartels fear most is just beginning to happen. Each day more and more people are turning from the services that they foist upon us at a ridiculously high price. They are going to places where the same product is much cheaper and in many cases better. What do the government and corporations do? They come down hard on the people who use the alternative, so now people who use the alternative must retaliate. If government and corporate officials decide to make the lives of one (or more) of us a living hell, then the same thing should happen to those officials. The hacker who downloaded Media Defender’s email file is not a helpless 10 years old girl and Media Defender or whatever government agency which decides to act on their behalf should consider that there may be consequences for their continuing bullying. People are tired of taking it!
