Tanya Anderson (Tanya Andersen) has
put forward new requirements as part of its counter-lawsuit against the American Recording Industry Association (RIAA).
In 2005, the RIAA accused Tanya of illegally downloading files from the Internet. Two years later, when it finally became clear that there was no direct evidence against her, the RIAA withdrew her lawsuit. Now a 42-year-old American woman, single mother and disabled, intends to defend her honor and dignity, to compensate moral damage after two years of judicial harassment, as well as in her lawsuit, she requires the defendant to reveal the technology of online surveillance, that is, describe in detail those methods by which The RIAA calculates illegal P2P users.
Tanya Anderson blames the RIAA for “driving over” her completely unreasonably. To refute this charge, the association will be forced to disclose technical details, and lawyer Anderson is determined to insist on this procedure. This is a matter of principle, because in the three years of the prosecution of the "pirates", the RIAA has never presented any logs from P2P networks or any other technical evidence of the suspects' guilt. The whole procedure always started as standard: the RIAA contacted providers or university administrators with a list of IP addresses. The investigation of the RIAA order is being carried out by
Media Sentry . How they got this list of IP addresses and whether it’s legal methods - that’s the question.
