RIAA named in first class action
p2pnet news | RIAA News:- In cases which should by rights have been initiated by the Bush government on behalf of innocent families across America, falsely attacked by Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG, RIAA victims Tanya Andersen and Michelle Santangelo are determined to make the Big 4, as well as companies involved in the sue 'em all morass, pay, literally and figuratively, for the distress they've caused and are still causing.
Andersen, a disabled mother living in Oregon, has launched the first class action against the RIAA and the members of the Big 4 organised music cartel.
And in the second lawsuit, Santangelo, from New York, has filed a cross-suit against Sharman Networks' Kazaa, AOL and Matthew Seckler, whom she says installed Kazaa software on her computer without her knowledge or permission.
It's Tanya's turn
Anderson and her ten-year-old daughter, Kylee, have been harried by the RIAA from pillar to post.
"I think it is really disgusting what the RIAA and these other companies have done to me and people like me," Andersen told p2pnet today.
"They have made my life a mess, put my life on hold, and created a lot of damage. I've been treated like a criminal for something I never did. My life will never be the same. I feel these companies should be ashamed and held responsible for what they have done. I don't care who someone is, they shouldn't be allowed to attack an innocent person and make their life a living nightmare.
"I hope what I'm doing can help not only myself, but others like myself, who have been put under this same type of unnecessary attack."
In a request for class action status which, if and when successful, will ultimately include every one of the 30,000 or so RIAA victims, Andersen and her lawyer, Lory Lybeck (right), are looking to recover compensation for the, "significant damages caused by the Defendants" as well as punitive damages, statutory penalties, litigation fees and expenses and equitable relief.
Her amended complaint is impressive. She's citing negligence, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, federal and state RICO, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, trespass, invasion of privacy, libel and slander, deceptive business practices, misuse of copyright law, and civil conspiracy.
