Question:

While the recording industry continues to be aggressive in its war on piracy, having sued more than 20,000 people for copyright infringement since 2003, some of its victims have been equally aggressive in defending themselves. Catherine Lewan, a former KaZaa user, settled the lawsuit brought against her by Sony BMG, and then turned around and filed a class action lawsuit against Sharman Networks, the company that created KaZaa. Lewan claimed that users were defrauded into believing that downloads from KaZaa were not only free, but legal. And, in 2007, Tanya Anderson, plagued by a lawsuit against her by RIAA, filed suit against Atlantic Recording Company, Capitol Records, RIAA, and MediaSentry—the software used by the recording industry to fine copyright infringers—accusing them of illegally investigating thousands of private citizens.
