awesome...I think more people will definitely fight back.
the RIAA is playing dirty and they should definitely be pointed out. Trying to set examples by targeting individuals and forcing them to pay fines or face large lawsuits is BS. Especially when trying to set an example and put fear into people out there.
Looks to me like they screwed up and tracked down the wrong person and now they may have to pay the price.

The RIAA is pretty unbiased when it comes to who they go after. They have been, and will continue to sue appx. 15,000 people per month. If you share music (or to a certain extent, download it, but they dont go after that as much), you are potentially a candidate for a lawsuit.
I dont think any even make it to court, as the max. penalty is up to $30,000 PER SONG! Most are settled before hand. Granted they may be overstepping their bounds a bit, but all they are doing is stopping illegal activity.
Im interested to see where this will take things.

stopping illegal activity by using illegal activity is just as wrong.

I agree with that, but whats outlined in that report is a tad screwy. Much of it doesnt make sense, or is just un-true. There are definitely two sides to every story. When starting a lawsuit you come out guns blazing with every [possibly] concievable act/action you can. Its going to be cleaned up and cut down. Like I said, Im interested to see where this leads.

Well if you would have read the article you would know that the person being sued was not participating in the illegal activity she was being accused of.
