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."

    David was more or less ordered (specifically challenged) to bring in foreskins as proof of body counts. Yes this would be rather gross today.

    You don't need to say more. It is gross at any time, particularly the "challenge" part. He was challenged to bring back proof that he killed human beings of a different ethnic origin, and in his poetic wisdom he brought back parts of their genitals. Isn't that just grand?
