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.

    More importantly, does she think that a trade association owns the copyrights?

    Even more importantly, do you know how to RTFA?

    10,000 / $250 = 400 hours

    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

    Is that the time when /. has gotten rid of all the mods?

    We are finally free from the tyrannical rule of the mods! All rejoice!
