RIAA, Safenet Sued For Malicious Prosecution
DaveAtFraud writes "Tanya Anderson, the single mother from Oregon previously sued by the RIAA — which dropped the case just before losing a summary judgement — is now suing the RIAA and their hired snoop Safenet for malicious prosecution. (Safenet was formerly known as MediaSentry.) Anderson is asserting claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act. A reader at Groklaw has already picked up that she is seeking to have the RIAA forfeit the copyrights in question as part of the settlement (search the page for '18.6-7')."
Does she seriously expect the courts to award such a devastating judgement against one of the richest IP holding organizations in the country? She is disabled, not retarded.
As in Music Company #1-14 as defendants? John Doe was getting rather old anyways.
WVRYX HHYRE THREF MUNGE 1H4UI...
Oh, sorry. I thought you said Crypto-Fascist. My mistake.
- sarcasm is just one more service we offer -
More importantly, does she think that a trade association owns the copyrights?
Even more importantly, do you know how to RTFA?
stop using "fascist" incorrectly. Its rude to all the true fascists, like myself.
Fascism is the greatest political ideology ever conceived. Sorry.
This story made me happy. Your comment made me very happy. Damn, I wish I had mod points.
Me Too :) Never seem to have mod points when I want to use them. I always manage to get them when people post nothing but dog drool....um wait...

I should really take more breaks from looking at the monitor, I read the title as " RIAA, Safenet Sued For Malicious Prostitution"
Alternatively: Hitler. :)
where 12 of you're pears
Mmmmm, jurylicious.
Let's see... Dia- is a prefix meaning through or across. These lawsuits go through or across the RIAA. Sounds like DiaRIAA should be the term used to describe their attacks on people. :P
I was under the impression that most spherical, homo-sapien anatomy, did indeed, come in pairs. Two, not twelve. Unless you're jiggling down multiple sets into a single lump sum, which is interesting because I was also under the impression that when referring to one's "pears" most people only have a single set, and the type of "pears" we're referring to, and their respective locations differ between the male and female anatomies. I think maybe however my take on your writing style is bulging out of proportion.
This thread, is officially a lemon.
Good. Cheap. Fast. Pick Two.
I hope you don't bill $250/hour for your arithmetic time.
Your all lower-case style of posting shows you to be on the cutting edge of post-moderism
/. has gotten rid of all the mods?
Is that the time when
Fucking sweet!
We are finally free from the tyrannical rule of the mods! All rejoice!
A blog about stuff.
That's my Windows XP key you insensitive clod!
Damn! Is my Freudian slip showing again? *sigh*
1 is the square root of all evil.
Yeah, except she patented, A method for extracting dollars from blood sucking trolls so now anyone who sues the RIAA will have to pay her royalties :\
No. What you're looking for is "mod-posterism". You can't post and mod at the same time, right? Unless, of course, you're CowboyNeal.
What day is it? Could you please tell me?
Mine too!
Stop! Thief!

Page 23, Section 10.3 of the action filed says that "Ms. Andersen was never observed downloading any mucis". A defense like that is nothing to sneeze at! The RIAA needs to be exposed for being the flim-phlegm men they are.
It is the 21st century and the time for Klax has passed.
True story:
In the early days of OCR, one of our attorneys wanted to see if he could scan a ton of his old hard copy docs into the computer and said he'd heard how wonderful scanners were. In spite of my repeated explanations of how immature the tech was (think 1.0), he insisted, so I had him send down a couple of docs for a test.
Needless to say, the resulting OCR scan was a ridiculous mess. The "old fashioned" font used for "United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia" came out as:
But the funniest side effect was seeing "witness for the prosecution" converted to "witness to the prostitution".
I'm not tense. I'm just terribly, terribly, alert.
