Woman countersues RIAA for fraud and deceptive business practices

In her countersuit, Anderson claims that the Settlement Support Center acknowledged the probability of her innocence, but informed her that should she refuse to settle, the RIAA would proceed with a suit in order to discourage others from attempting to defend themselves against unwarranted litigation.

Now am I the only one to think "MediaSentry illegally infiltrated her computer and found evidence of copyright infringement" should be a HUGE reason to sue the fuckers as well?

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

Simple enough, don't steal. If you haven't stolen music, aren't stealing music and don't intend to steal music you have nothing to worry about. Should you be accused and you're innocent fight. If you're caught, admit your fault, make reparations and move on with your life.

You deserve to make more money. I'll help you do that.

I agree 100% Steve however based on what the article "implies" she is innocent and was warned (threatened) that if she fights this that they will make an example of her. Based on this information if is is accurate then one is guilty of this crime simply if they say you are and if you fight it then they will use their corp lawyers to bury you. What troubles me is the part where MediaSentry illegally infiltrated her computer and accused her of have illegal files. What I wonder is if you have any type of peer to peer file sharing programs on your computer is if this is how they are going to get people to stop using them since the courts have thus far ruled them not illegal. I by the way do purchase all my music

Well, that sure was a stupid post

If you honestly believe that innocent individuals have nothing to fear from a huge organization with lots of great lawyers and millions to spend, you are more than just a little naive.

What the RIAA does is nothing more than thuggery level racketeering, and it's illegal.

Hopefully more people stand up to them.

I agree stand up to the bastards but also never under estimate the power of greedy corp stupidity..... It appears that even if you are just an independent artist you are screwed as you are not allowed to record and package your own music. According to this link the RIAA raided a indie store with police in bullet proof vests and swat teams.

RIAA regional officer Kenneth Rivera, who worked as an undercover agent on the Kim?s case, identified the store?s mix tapes and CDs as piratical, testifying in an affidavit that they ?listed unfamiliar company names, do not display the name of the owner of the copyright, have packaging inferior in quality when compared with legitimate discs,? and because ?many are recorded on CD-R media. Legitimate recordings released by RIAA member companies do not release their recording on CD-R format.?
