Santangelo II (http://info.riaalawsuits.us/documents.htm#Elektra_v_Santangelo2). Her proposed third-party complaint (http://www.ilrweb.com/viewILRPDF.asp?filename=elektra_santangelo2_070815Proposed3rdPartyPleadingsSharmanSecklerAOL) (pdf) alleges that any injuries plaintiffs might have sustained were the result of the third party defendants' "negligence and breaches... in the defective design of Sharman Network's program, "Kazaa" which was a dangerous instrumentality in its each and every use as it existed in 2002-2004; the trespassing and reckless installation by Matthew Seckler [the person who allegedly installed the software without authorization] of such program; the failure to warn by AOL and Sharman; the failure to block the downloading of such files by AOL; the improper blocking of alleged (RIAA) warning messages by AOL and Sharman; and, the secretive file sharing system of and by Kazaa.""
