If Anderson wins, she's asking that the RIAA forfeit the copyrights she was accused of violating.

First Online Wii Game Released
The Wii is hot, but until now it's been lacking one incredibly important thing: online play. That changes with the release of the first Wii title featuring online multiplayer: 'Pokemon Battle Revolution.' While obviously not everyone will be a fan of the game's content, it's a promising sign for upcoming games that desperately need online competition, like 'Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.'
