RIAA Drops Tanya Andersen Case

Posted by Zonk on from the pendulum-swings-both-ways dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "After 2 years, the RIAA has finally dropped its longstanding case against disabled single mother Tanya Andersen in Oregon, Atlantic v. Andersen. The dismissal (pdf) relates merely to the RIAA's claims against Ms. Andersen, and does not relate to her (a) claim for attorneys fees or (b) counterclaims against the RIAA, which are presently before the Court on a motion to dismiss. The counterclaims were first interposed in December 2005. This is the same case in which the RIAA insisted on taking a face to face deposition of a 10 year old girl. Prior to the case, neither the mother nor the child had ever even heard of file sharing."

      No, I think she named her daughter 'Chad'.

      What kind of freak would do that?

    ...the RIAA insisted on taking a face to face deposition of a 10 year old girl. Prior to the case, neither the mother nor the child chad ever even heard of file sharing." Isn't the girl suffering enough from having a boy's name?
