I'm curious to see where this goes.  The most interesting part of the
story to me is the list of complaints:

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
slander
deceptive business practices
misuse of copyright law
civil conspiracy

Damn.

Title: Class Action Initiated Against RIAA)
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Ever since the RIAA's litigation campaign began in 2003, many people have been suggesting a class action against the RIAA. Tanya Andersen, in Oregon, has taken them up on it. The RIAA's case against this disabled single mother, Atlantic v. Andersen, has received attention in the past, for her counterclaims against the RIAA including claims under Oregon's RICO statute, the RIAA's hounding of her young daughter for a face-to-face deposition, the RIAA's eventual dropping of the case 'with prejudice,' and her lawsuit against the RIAA for malicious prosecution, captioned Andersen v. Atlantic. Now she's turned that lawsuit into a class action. The amended complaint seeking class action status (PDF) sues for 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 s lander, deceptive business practices, misuse of copyright law, and civil conspiracy."
