Disabled single mother Tanya Andersen is going to be a folk hero. She took on the might of the RIAA, challenging them to prove she’d pirated music – and won. Now the RIAA has to pay a whopping $107,951 in legal fees, and she’s filed suit against them.
It all began four years ago when the RIAA accused Andersen and her eight-year-old daughter of illegally downloading gangsta rap. Andersen claimed her innocence, even offering to let the RIAA inspect her computer, but they refused, threatening her with prosecution unless she handed over several thousand dollars.
