In 2005, single Oregon mother Tanya Andersen was sued by the RIAA for trading copyrighted files. They ultimately dropped the case for lack of evidence. In 2007 she fought back, suing (see complaint) the music industry and several of their investigative and debt collection partners for invasion of privacy, racketeering, libel and slander, deceptive business practices and "malicious prosecution." According to the Oregonian, yesterday she was awarded $108,000 for her troubles. Jon Newton of P2PNet has done a great job tracking this story over the years and has more detail here.
