From Slashdot, there is this story of a class action suit against the RIAA. It’s an interesting sounding case:
Her amended complaint is impressive. She’s citing negligence, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, federal and state RICO, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, trespass, invasion of privacy, libel and slander, deceptive business practices, misuse of copyright law, and civil conspiracy.
The RIAA has been pretty abusive recently. The chickens may now be coming home to roost. To see RICO in this is pretty impresive, if they can make the case.
