A Princeton woman has been sued in US District Court in Paducah as part of a nationwide crackdown by major record companies alleging copyright infringement for illegally distributing music over the Internet. Woman denies downloading music, says one of daughter’s friends may be culprit.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by The Recording Industry Association of America against Melissa Mason of 206 Prince Court in Princeton on behalf of Capitol Records, UMG Recordings, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and BMG Music. The suit alleges the illegal downloading of five songs: “Something to Talk About” by Bonnie Raitt, “Carrying Your Love with Me” by George Strait, “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion, “Something That We Do” by Clint Black, and “I Could Not Ask for More” by Sara Evans.
Mason said Thursday that she had not been served with the suit, but denied downloading the music.
“I’ve had several (teen-age) children to use the computer, but as far as telling who downloaded it, I don’t know,” she said. “I’ve tried to get it off the computer, but for some reason it will not delete.”
