Tanya Andersen is a single mother who's being accused of the wholly fabricated charge of criminal file sharing.
Andersen, who's laid RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization) allegations of her own against the RIAA, also flatly denies its charges and since early last year, has been trying to get the labels to check her hard-drive as proof.

The Big Four 'trade' organization didn't want to know. Period. But suddenly, it decided it did, after all, require access to her hard-drive - to all of it. But a judge ruled Andersen could name her own investigator who'd search only for specific files.

And the RIAA will have to pay his or her bill.

Meanwhile, Andersen - pictured here with Kylee, her daughter, and Tazz, their terrier/Maltese cross - used to buy music through BMG, but dropped the service when she was sued.

Now, in this Q&A with p2pnet, she describes how BMG Music asked her to return to the fold because she'd been, "such a great customer".

They also promised her a free CD if she'd sign up again.

"I think it's sad that all the beautiful and hard work of artists is being tarnished by these lawsuits," she told p2pnet.

BMG have nerves asking her to return to the fold & saying that she's a "such a great customer" while they're still sueing her. :roll:
If she's such a great customer why are they sueing her ? :?
