Foster Demands RIAA Post $210K Security For Fees

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "A few days ago it was reported that, in view of the RIAA's one-month delay in paying the $68,685.00 attorneys fee award in Capitol v. Foster, and its lawyers' failure to respond to Ms. Foster's lawyer's email, Ms. Foster filed a motion for entry of judgment so that she could go ahead with judgment enforcement proceedings. In response to that motion the RIAA submitted a statement that it had no objection to entry of judgment, and intimated that it thought there would be an automatic stay on enforcement of the judgment, and that it would ultimately file an appeal. After seeing that, Ms. Foster's lawyer has filed a motion for the Court to require the RIAA to post $210,000 in security to cover the past and future attorneys' fees and costs that are expected to be incurred."

    ...how does it feel to be the most-liked lawyers in the world? Now all you have to do is kick Jack Thompson's ass and you're surely starting the lawyer hall of fame or get the Nobel Sticking-It-To-The-Man prize.

    My advice: download the music from p2p, and if you like it, just send the musicians fifteen bucks worth of drugs. Cut out the middlemen, so to speak.

    Yea, but that can get so complicated...you never know what type of drugs people want. The only surefire solution is to only listen to electronica and send the artists ecstasy. Of course most of those guys aren't on a label anyway. You could always listen to country and send them gallons of cheap whiskey and beer, but the shipping will eat you alive.
