The Oregon lady has accused the recording industry's campaign of threatening and intimidating innocent people, and of racketeering and fraud. The new lawsuit charges the industry representatives (RIAA) and the company it hired, MediaSentry, of spying 'by unlicensed, unregistered and uncertified private investigators' who 'have illegally entered the hard drives of tens of thousands of private American citizens' in violation of laws 'in virtually every state in the country'.
The complainant is Tanya Andersen, a 41-year-old disabled single mother. Lory Lybeck, her attorney said the lawsuit will also force the industry to reveal how extensive its spying has become.

About time somebody went after the RIAA. The RIAA and the record companies are afraid to admit they screwed up. File sharing is here to stay whether anyone likes it or not.
