Victim sues RIAA under RICO Act

Iria · Oct 2, 2005, 09:33 PM

"I just read your 'We're Not Taking It Anymore' Club article on p2pnet.net," emailed Anna. "I've never been sued by RIAA, but I do feel strongly against their actions."

She suggested the RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization) might be a way to go, continuing, "Don't laugh. It's a very potent law. It was originally created to battle the Mafiosi, but it has been recently used to file suits against insurance companies (by the medical associations), corrupt moving companies, and even against 'quackbusters.' Google it; it gets to be interesting reading.

"I believe that what the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) is doing is racketeering and harassment. I think a creative lawyer could possibly go to town on this. If they get maybe 15 or 20 people who have been unjustifiably sued by RIAA, I'm sure they'll have a strong case.”

Now, in what could be the beginning of the end for the Big Music cartel's vicious sue 'em all marketing campaign, RIAA victim Tanya Andersen (upper right) has just counter-sued the RIAA for Oregon RICO violations, fraud, invasion of privacy, abuse of process, electronic trespass, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, negligent misrepresentation, the tort of "outrage", and deceptive business practices, says Recording Industry vs The People.
