[ga] RICO Class Action Against RIAA In Missouri

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

All,

  It's long past time for ICANN's IPC members, mostly namely
the RIAA and the MPAA cease and disist their cyberbullying!

  When will ICANN and the IPC recognize that it is time if
not long past time to loose these sleezy folks like a bad habit?

  Thank you Ray for keeping us all properly aware and educated
accordingly.

Atlantic Recording v. Raleigh, an RIAA case pending in St. Louis,
Missouri, the defendant has
http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-rico-class-action-claims-asserted.html
asserted detailed counterclaims against the RIAA for federal RICO
violations, fraud, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, prima
facie tort, trespass, and conspiracy. The claims focus on the RIAA's
'driftnet' tactic of suing innocent people, and of demanding
extortionate settlements. The RICO 'predicate acts' alleged in the

42-page pleading (PDF) are extortion, mail fraud, and wire fraud. The
proposed class includes all people residing in the US 'who were falsely
accused ... of downloading copyrighted sound recordings owned by the
counterclaim Defendants and making them available for distribution or
mass distribution over a P2P network and who incurred costs and damages
including legal fees in defense of such false claims' or 'whose
computers used in interstate commerce and/or communication were accessed
... without permission or authority.' This is the second class action of
which we are aware against the RIAA and the Big 4 recording companies,
the first being  http://www.p2pnet.net/story/15833 the Oregon class
action brought by Tanya Andersen, which is presently in the discovery 
phase."
