Tanya Andersen, the Oregon mother who was among the first to force the Big Music Goliath to a standstill, tried to get Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music’s RIAA to check her hard-drive as proof she was completely innocent of allegations that she was a massive online distributor of copyrighted corporate music. Despite repeated requests from Tanya, the RIAA flatly refused —- until suddenly, out of the blue, “it decided it did, after all, require access to her hard-drive – to all of it,” said p2pnet at the time. However, a judge ruled Andersen could choose her own investigator who’d search only for specific files.
