Andersen Vs. RIAA Counterclaims Challenged

Posted by kdawson on from the schmisabled dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA is now challenging the counterclaims (PDF) in Atlantic v. Andersen, for Electronic Trespass, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Invasion of Privacy, Fraud, Negligent Misrepresentation, the tort of Outrage, Deceptive Business Practices under Oregon Trade Practices Act, and Oregon RICO, first discussed here in October 2005. The RIAA has moved to dismiss the counterclaims (PDF) brought by a disabled single mother in Oregon who lives on Social Security Disability and has never engaged in file sharing, this after unsuccessfully trying to force the face-to-face deposition of Ms. Andersen's 10-year-old daughter. Ms. Andersen's lawyer has filed opposition papers (PDF)."

  1. Barry Bonds, dead at 42 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on ESPN talk radio. Barry Bonds, world-famous baseball player, has passed away at the age of 42 from a brain aneurysm. He was close to breaking Hank Aaron's all-time homerun record, which now will sadly live on. Even if you didn't appreciate his endless skills and uplifting attitude towards everyone around him, there's no denying his contributions to modern-day sports. Truly an American icon.
