RIAA cleared on charges, for now. |

Thursday, 21 February 2008 |
 The RIAA was in court the other day, but this time as a defendent. Tanya Andersen was suing the RIAA & MediaSentry for malicious prosection. Tanya is a single disabled mother who was sued by the RIAA in February 2005. That case ended with her getting her attorney's fees paid for. and led to this suit.
For now the RIAA is cleared, the judge dropped the charges. However, Tanya has 30 days to refile, if she can have physical proof to back her charges. So what the heck is malicious prosecution and what did the RIAA do? Tanya claims in the lawsuit that the RIAA invaded her privacy, conducted libel and slander against her, and practiced deceptive business practices.
As far as what the heck malicious prosecution is, I'll let a lawyer explain that one.
More info about the judge dropping her lawsuit.
Props to Antonio for submitting this lead.
