Will they file share legally?

About time someone dragged the RIAA into court over their arm bending Gestapo tactics; however, I never thought it would be a soccer mom to grow a set and go after them.

Andersen is close to forcing the RIAA into the discovery phase of her countersuit. During that discovery phase, the RIAA could be forced to release potentially incriminating details about its techniques for investigating alleged file sharers.

Once Tanya Andersen files her amended Complaint, which the RIAA is barred from contesting this time around, the organization could have to explain the following details by producing documents and allowing major-label anti-piracy executives to be deposed:

- How much the RIAA's lawyer’s make
- Why the average file sharing settlement fee is $4-5K
- How it decides which file sharers to sue, and which ones not to sue
- Where the settlement money goes (i.e. whether any of it makes it to the artists)

Bet those artist will be lining up for their cut, guess which artists will be first?............Metallica of course, the whiny ass punks.
