Role Reversal

Apparently the anti-competitive actions of the RIAA have finally upset people who have enough money to sue them. Lime Wire LLC has filed counter-petitions in the active lawsuit between the two organizations alleging anti-competitive practices. The claim alleges:
[RIAA's] goal was simple: to destroy any online music distribution service they did not own or control, or force such services to do business with them on exclusive and/or other anticompetitive terms so as to limit and ultimately control the distribution and pricing of digital music, all to the detriment of consumers. (Counterclaim, paragraph 26, page 18).
