Re: Interesting Read

I mean the FBI, who investigate federal RICO violations. In other words, make sure there is also a criminal investigation, and not just a civil suit.

Criminal liability in this particular suit won't ever happen. Copyright infringement is strictly a civil action irrespective of any RICO charges, which in this particular instance, no matter how big of a douche the RIAA is, will most likely not stick. This case is dead in the water. Tanya Andersen is not the first person to bring suit against the RIAA for RICO allegations. The RIAAs legal counsel are laughing about this suit all the way to the bank because her causes of action will easily be quashed. Any first year law student can respond to her complaint and get it tossed out.

The case of copyright infringement was already dropped by the RIAA when it was apparent that they were going to lose. The case that she is filing right now is over the deceptive legal practices of the RIAA and the illegal gathering of private information. Even in a civil suit, if evidence shows that either party had violated federal law, an investigation could begin.
