It is heartening to read of the courage and tenacity of Tanya Anderson’s struggle against the corporate juggernaut. For each of us facing the decision of whether or not to stand up against the injustices of powerful corporate greed, Tanya’s spirit is encouraging. Our gratitude goes out to you, Tanya, for strengthening our resolve to not be silenced. For every Tanya may there be hundreds, nay thousands more, inspired to engage the wrong.

This woman should just be given a default judgment in court, and the judge should say “No more appeals!” which, unknown to most people, they are allowed to do in anything except capital murder cases without the say of the person who has the judgment put against them.

Gabriel does not speak he lie.

Once someone is so consistant at lying at least you know one think:

Whatever it says is no true.

Well, one has to understand that it is Gabriel’s job, or part of it anyway, to paint his organization and it’s position in as positive a light as possible. My perception, however, has largely been that Gabriel is only lying when his lips are moving.

I just read the whole story and boy what a read. Where do these guys come from really? This Gabriel character must have been asleep all along. “We took the high road by dropping this case” …. WHAT? You guys have the computer and not a shred of evidence. I’d like to see you sell that to a jury.

Every single day I feel a great deal of gratitude for all the help I’ve received. Back when my ordeal first started, I had absolutely no idea what to do. It was through the very few websites that existed at the time, like P2Pnet and Recording Industry vs. the People that I was able to find information to educate myself.

My opinion is that these people who are helping people with these cases, i.e., lawyers, internet community, writers, media, tech people, EFF and many many others, work harder than anybody could ever possibly imagine to stand up for what is right. They go above and beyond and keep doing it over and over again. I am grateful.

These cases concern a lot more than “just another day at the office” or “business as usual.” This has to do with real, normal, every day regular people that are not unlike your mother, sister, brother, or yourself. I know my life will never be the same. RIAA victims, like me, read many of the comments people write on sites such as P2Pnet and others. The supportive and thoughtful comments people have left have meant a whole lot to me. I really want to thank people for that. I still feel like people can and are making a difference.

Thanks, Ray.

To anyone else harbouring similar thoughts, actually, it’s all down to Tanya for having the courage to stand up and tell it like it was, despite the terror – and I use the word advisedly – she was experiencing, and to Lory and Ben for their dedication which wasn’t, I promise, inspired by financial considerations.

All I did was report.

Cheers!

I would like to take a moment to give thanks to Jon for covering this story so superbly since its inception in 2005. I’m glad mainstream media are finally starting to get caught up to it, but Jon has been our leader in getting the word out.

And more than just keeping his readers abreast of legal developments, Jon really helped us to get to know Tanya Andersen and her daughter and what they were going through.

And more than just telling us about Tanya, this story has helped give people insight into the suffering that has been inflicted on every family that winds up being victimized by the ghouls, stormtroopers, clones, and running dogs in the hire of the RIAA.

Thank you Jon for telling the story.

And thank you Tanya for living your life with courage.

That’s a long read and I must admit I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m aware of her story of course. This is what we need, more heroes like her. She and her daughter can be proud for doing a great service to the world, going where few others have dared.

Imagine all the huge bribes she must have already turned down to make her go away, which would have given her a life of wealth and ease, except would not have ease her conscience. Now she has a mission in life and it seems she is going to see it through.

They’d better pray nothing happens to her.
