Lawyers for a New York woman accused of unlawfully sharing music over the Internet suggested Tuesday the recording industry acted illegally when it investigated her online activities and that a search of music files on her computer may have been unconstitutional.


The lawyers _ Richard S. Ugelow, Glenn W. Peterson and Daniel N. Ballard _ are asking a federal magistrate to delay at least until Sept. 10 ordering the woman’s Internet provider to turn over her name and address to the Recording Industry Association of America, the trade group for the largest labels.


In court papers, the lawyers said they may argue that the RIAA violated state and federal laws by intercepting the woman’s Internet address as its investigators scoured file-sharing networks looking for songs to download.
