RIAA Short on Funds?

Doing something wrong is, well, wrong. Unless of course you are the RIAA, who have set a perfect example of how to not pay off your huge bills. Last month, they were ordered to pay Debbie Foster’s attorney fees, which stacked up to a staggering $68,685.23. Of course, they are just sitting back and hoping the courts will forget about it. If only things worked that way.

Can it be that the RIAA, or the “Big 4” record companies it represents, are short on funds? It turns out that despite the Judge’s order, entered a month ago, telling them to pay Debbie Foster $68,685.23 in attorneys fees, in Capitol v. Foster, they have failed to make payment. Ms. Foster has now had to ask the Court to enter Judgment, so that she can commence ‘post judgment collection proceedings’. According to Ms. Foster’s motion papers (pdf), her attorneys received no response to their email inquiry about payment. Perhaps the RIAA should ask their lawyers for a loan?
