["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Again, shouldn't we be asking/demanding that ICANN's IPC
revoke the RIAA's membership?

See:
(August 15 & 18, 2008)
A US Federal Court has awarded Tanya Andersen more than US $100,000 in
legal fees and interest following her successful fight against a lawsuit

brought by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).  The
RIAA accused Andersen and her eight-year-old daughter of illegally
downloading music onto their PC.  Andersen denied the allegations and
offered her computer for the RIAA to inspect.  The RIAA declined the
offer and served papers on Andersen.  During the court case, her PC was
inspected by the RIAA, which found no evidence of wrongdoing.  The case
was eventually dropped.  Andersen has filed a separate lawsuit against
the RIAA for malicious prosecution.
