Robert Santangelo is being sued alongside his sister, who is 20, allowing the case to be brought into federal court. Five different record companies are suing the family, alleging that Santangelo's piracy dates back to 2001. The teen is fighting back, saying the plaintiffs "have engaged in a wide-ranging conspiracy to defraud the courts of the United States."
