Warren, MI | The evidence that the RIAA will probably have with them will be a list of songs being shared by a specific IP and documentation from the her ISP that connects that IP to her at the time in which the songs were being shared.
The questionable part of their evidence isn't going to be the list of shared songs or the IP, but rather the ISPs ability to connect that the IP to her. If their records are incorrect, then they are going after the wrong person, and it's the ISPs fault that they are. If this is the case, she may be able to file a suit against her ISP to cover any of her costs from the suit against the RIAA.

Winnipeg, MB | These records are digital, they are used by responsible ISPs every day for TOS violations (for example, in tracking senders of spam), and they can be cross-verified validated by her modem's MAC address, on DSL or cable.
If the RIAA tracked the available songs and Kazaa userid on her machine over time, then the ISP would have had to have made multiple mistakes in identifying who had which IP address at what point in time.
They could even fingerprint the available songs and downloaded songs using errors/defects/inaccuracies in the recordings.
