RIAA Appeals Award of Attorneys' Fees

Posted by kdawson on from the first-up-against-the-wall dept.

Fishing Expedition writes in with a story in Ars reporting that the RIAA has decided to appeal a judge's decision to award attorneys' fees to defendant Debbie Foster in Capitol Records v. Foster. If the award stands, the RIAA could find itself in trouble in numerous other cases, and they know it. Their real fear, more than the attorneys' fees, is the judge's finding that the RIAA's arguments for contributory and vicarious infringement claims in cases like this one are not viable.

    IS all this news about the RIAA bugging anyone else? Every time they do *another* shitty thing, it ends up on the front page. All you'll get is a thread full of flame and RIAA hate.

    It's just getting on my chimes is all.
