Tanya Andersen, who was wrongfully targeted by the RIAA in February 2005, has now amended her complaint that could see the case move forward to the discovery phase. This is a worrying time for the RIAA who could be forced to reveal confidential information on its litigation tactics involving companies such as MediaSentry ; an investigative company that provides its clients with evidence of copyright infringement.

The RIAA initially sued Tanya Andersen for P2P file sharing but voluntarily dismissed their case after discovering the absence of one vital ingredient - evidence. Last month saw Tanya Andersen's class-action case against the RIAA dismissed by Judge Anna J. Brown who said that she, "had not adequately stated claims for relief." She was given 30 days to resubmit an amendment and did so last Friday (March 14, 2008).

There have been numerous allegations floating around the internet of illegal tactics conducted by the RIAA and associate companies (such as MediaSentry). Andersen's case seeks to demonstrate that there is a conspiracy against the general public in the United States; an illegal tactic that is both fraudulent and without substance.

It will be fascinating to follow this case to see which way the judgment swings. If it's in Andersen's favor, and the allegations are true, the RIAA could be in for a very rough 2008.
