|  [News] Victim countersues RIAA under RICO Act
One of the victims of the RIAA's sue 'em all campaign, Tanya
Anderson, has filed a countersuit under Oregon's RICO
(Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization) Act, as well
as for fraud, invasion of privacy, abuse of due process,
electronic tresspass, violations of the Computer Fraud
and Abuse Act, and other allegations:
»p2pnet.net/story/6445
Anderson, who is disabled, lives alone with her 8 year
old daughter. The two exist on government disability
payments.
What with this and other stories about victims fighting
back, and RIAA lawyers running like rats when it is
shown their charges are bogus, it appears to be the
beginning of the end for the music cartel's extortion
campaign against filesharers.

| i just read that on Slashdot.org. I thought this part was pretty funny:
11. Settlement Support Center also falsely claimed that Ms. Andersen had “been viewed” by MediaSentry downloading “gangster rap” music at 4:24 a.m. Settlement Support Center also falsely claimed that Ms. Andersen had used the login name “gotenkito@kazaa.com.” Ms. Andersen does not like “gangster rap,” does not recognize the name “gotenkito,” is not awake at 4:24 a.m. and has never downloaded music.

Only time will tell, but the very act of filing against the MPAA under RICO statutes has already created a precedent that will change the landscape of the court challenges forever. |

| I do believe I know how it could've occurred. No real proof, but it states she has Verizon. If she got it recently enough, it comes with a wireless modem. Had the antenna been on (or off), the wireless is on without any security (WEP/WPA) turned on. So someone could've easily logged into her wireless network and downloaded rap at 4:24. Not hard, I've tested it with my own router (now locked down). It's free and clear from first setup.
