"Alleged" position is right.

Jason Schultz (the EFF attorney quoted in the article) has gone on record 
saying that he's been misquoted. Apparently, when the reporter called Jason 
for a quote, he gave the impression that the RIAA was going after 
commercial bootleggers instead of individual file-sharers, and naturally 
Jason said that was the approach they should be taking. He assumed the 
raids were carried out by real police, not the RIAA's private forces.

Jason's own explanation of the misquote is on his blog:
