p2pnet news | RIAA News:- Taking a page out of Tanya Andersen’s book, Hurricane Rita survivor Rhonda Crain is also targeting the RIAA practice of using unlicensed ‘investigators’in its bizarre sue ‘em all marketing campaign, p2pnet posted in July.

Now Crain is guaranteed a merry Christmas.

She’s beaten off the vicious Big 4 attack dog.

Tanya Andersen, a disabled Oregon mother and her 10-year-old daughter, Kylee, “have for the last three years been living a nightmare, thanks to Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG’s RIAA,” said p2pnet, going on:

“Now she’s suing the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). ‘At one point, they even tracked down and called my new landlord,’ she says. ‘I had been living here for only one month. They’ve asked and investigated quite a bit of extremely personal information, which was very humiliating.’

“In this latest case against the RIAA, Crain, a grandmother who lives in Beaumont, Texas, says she’s never shared files and now wants to amend her answer to include counter-claims against the record companies for using unlicensed MediaSentry investigators … She’s also demanding a trial by jury, saying the RIAA’s actions ‘amount to extortion,’ a charge also levelled at the Big 4 enforcer by Andersen …”

Andersen left the RIAA in the dust and now, “the RIAA has withdrawn all monetary claims against the defendant, and settled for an injunction, rather than risk the Court’s deciding the validity of Ms Crain’s counterclaims based upon the fact that MediaSentry is not a licensed investigator,” says Recording Industry vs The People.

Meanwhile, it being the Christmas season, and all, the RIAA is going after its masters’ customers anew.

Slashdot it!
