RIAA Pays Tanya Andersen $107,951

Posted by kdawson on from the grinding-gears-as-it-goes-into-reverse dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "Well, Phase I of the RIAA's misguided pursuit of an innocent, disabled Oregon woman, Atlantic v. Andersen, has finally drawn to a close, as the RIAA was forced to pay Ms. Andersen $107,951, representing the amount of her attorneys fee judgment plus interest. But as some have pointed out, reimbursement for legal fees doesn't compensate Ms. Andersen for the other damages she's sustained. And that's where Phase II comes in, Andersen v. Atlantic. There the shoe is on the other foot, and Tanya is one doing the hunting, as she pursues the record companies and their running dogs for malicious prosecution. Should be interesting."

      Overused not-funny quotes, get modded funny.

      Pointing out that the overused quote is overused and crap, gets modded flamebat.

      Pointing out that certain mods are fucking stupid, gets modded priceless.

      Somethings posting can't buy, for everything else, just piss of the mods.

    David has slain Goliath, once more.

    Not quite. David has kicked Goliath squarely in the testicles but he isn't dead.

    oh, this has the making of a beautiful class action suit against RIAA and the record companies. Can you imagine the beautiful, beautiful damanges?

    *looks into crystal ball*..... I envision millions of dollars in legal fees for the lawyers representing the class and free iTunes download credits for the class members

    If the RIAA gets beheaded this will indeed be a David and Goliath story in all respects! As it is, the RIAA is just stoned.

    As far as I can see, they were stoned from the start.
