It looks like corporate amnesia at its finest has made an appearance in Tanya Anderson's lawsuit launched against the RIAA and co for their criminally liable extortion activities.

The defendants have just filed their replies to the fourth amended complaint, and, as expected, they paint quite a different picture than does Andersen.
In her complaint, Andersen accused the RIAA and record labels of a number of misdeeds. Those include civil conspiracy, malicious prosecution, abuse of the legal process, and negligence. Not so, says the RIAA, which denies being responsible for some of the more troubling aspects of the case against Andersen. One such event was a phone call to then-eight-year-old Kylee Andersen's school by someone purporting to be her grandmother, made in an attempt to speak to her directly about the file-sharing allegations. The RIAA denies "Plaintiff’s false suggestion that they had anything to do with the alleged phone call in which someone purportedly claimed to be Kylee’s grandmother, if any such phone call actually occurred."
SafeNet's response contains a similar string of denials. The company, which recently removed all references to the investigative services it performs from its web site, admits to not having an Oregon state private investigator's license. It also admits to having received a cease-and-desist letter from the Massachusetts State Police regarding some of its activities in that state.
Lets see the RIAA spin machine try to dig itself out of this hole, they are plainly guilty of many of the allegations including using unlicensed investigator's, I for one am enjoying watching the RIAA and their co-conspirators have little to say except to issue denials and in the case of SafeNet actually continue to accuse Tanya of being guilty of their allegations rather than face up to the fact they gave bad and illegally obtained information to the RIAA to cause this whole fiasco.
