A case that has so far not made it past the judge is up for the 4th try.
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080505-andersen-relentless-in-quest-to-nail-the-riaa.htmlLory Lybeck, attorney for former RIAA defendant Tanya Andersen, has filed an amended complaint in her malicious prosecution lawsuit against the record labels and the RIAA. It's Lybeck's fourth attempt at crafting a complaint acceptable to the judge, and, if it is successful, it will set the stage for what Andersen hopes will be far-ranging discovery into the RIAA's tactics throughout its long-running legal campaign against P2P users.
Andersen's first three complaints have all been dismissed by the judge presiding over the case, but Judge Anna J. Brown has given Andersen leave to refile each time. The initial complaint, which accused the RIAA of racketeering, fraud, invasion of privacy, deceptive business practices, and a host of other misdeeds, was dismissed by Judge Brown in February. In her decision, she indicated that Andersen failed to adequately state claims for relief, but gave her leave to refile an amended complaint.
Those following this case will be aware that the RIAA lawyers have been stonewalling and delaying efforts to obtain vital information and so while this case can proceed some claims may have to be dropped its likely once the case does get underway they will return as and when more revealing facts regarding the RIAA's threats to sue campaign see daylight.
