RIAA Racketeers

THIS IS GREAT. A woman in New Jersey who was targetted by the RIAA for filesharing has just filed a countersuit, which charges the major labels with racketeering. Her lawyer says of the filesharing lawsuits, “They’re banding together to extort money, telling people they’re guilty and they will have to pay big bucks to defend their cases if they don’t pony up now. It is fundamentally not fair.”

Perfect.
