Judge Slams RIAA, Award Now Over $100K
Filed in archive Legal , RIAA, IFPI on May 31, 2007
In Capitol v. Foster: Justice At Last and RIAA Lawsuit Setback: Defendant Wins Attorney Fees, defendant Debbie Foster of Oklahoma was granted attorney fees. RIAA dropped the suit against the mother after it appeared her daughter was the likely violator.
The judge initially set the fees at $55,000. RIAA filed to reconsider the award. The judge reaffirmed the award and denied the motion, calling plaintiffs' counsel "disingenuous" and their motives "questionable."
In an ironic twist, the only result of RIAA's continued fight is a spiraling increase in the fee it has to pay. The ongoing litigation creates more work for the defendant's attorney. Those fees, which the judge ruled RIAA must pay, are now up to $114,000.
