A woman accused of sharing copyrighted files using Kazaa by the RIAA is suing the association back, claiming that the RIAA broke many conduct and privacy laws when investigating her for these charges.
Andersen is a disabled single mother residing in Oregon. In 2005, she was sued by the RIAA for file-sharing, accused of sharing a library of gangsta rap over Kazaa. She denied the allegations and filed a counterclaim alleging fraud, racketeering, and deceptive business practices by the record labels. Despite the lack of any evidence of infringement apart from an IP address, the RIAA continued to press ahead with the case until the abrupt dismissal earlier this month.
This case, if handled properly, could become a huge class-action lawsuit encompasing many of the RIAA’s previous accused file-sharers.
