A Scranton woman found herself on the receiving end of a lawsuit when eight major record companies teamed up in civil suit in federal court accusing her of illegally downloading music, court papers say.
Plaintiffs in the case filed Tuesday in U.S. Middle District Court in Scranton are Capitol Records, Virgin Records America, Maverick Recording Company, Interscope Records, UMG Recordings Inc., Warner Bros. Records Inc., Arista Records LLC and Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
Judith McLane refused to be interviewed for this story, but the suit alleges she downloaded copyrighted songs by bands such as Poison, UB40, Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne and Mariah Carey, and more than 650 other tracks to her computer, according to evidence filed with the lawsuit.
The record companies believe McLane used the peer-to-peer file-sharing service Kazaa to illegally download music to her computer, while allowing other users to download copies of songs from her hard drive. They provided a list of 665 songs residing on McLane’s computer.

that ain’t many tunes… gosh.
Lololo….my buddy (:P) has well over 22000 tracks on his PC…….whats funny too is the complete crap for music she had “Poison UB40 Michelle Branch Avril Lavigne and Mariah Carey?” She should be fined for THAT having this music in her possession period.
665 eh? That’s nothin.
Yes well I know a guy who knows a guy who has 112.7 gigs of music. Most of which this guy probably won’t listen too again but it is always good to know you have the A-Team soundtract just in case.
Love that soundtrack………….I know a guy who knows a guy who also has the “Airwolf” theme song though why he has it he has no idea no idea but it too could also come in handy…….I think.
I am the guy that everyone knows. THis women clearly needs to be sued by the recording industry. If your still using kazaa and not moved on. Then clearly you need to be forced to uninstall it and delete the crappy quality songs.
