Wronged Victim To Be Awarded Legal Fees From RIAA

Some of you may remember Capitol Record v. Debbie Foster, where the RIAA sued an Oklahoma woman over copyright infringement. In July, the case against her was dismissed with prejudice, which, in the eyes of the judge, made her the prevailing party. Earlier today, the judge handed her another legal victory, awarding her “reasonable” attorneys’ fees from the RIAA.

The sad thing is that Debbie Foster is not really a winner here. She had to go through the insane hassle of being wrongfully sued and then on top of it, had to wait well over a year for this conclusion to arise. It would be great to see this happen more often, but it’s still chump change as far as the RIAA is concerned.
