RIAA Finally Gets a Taste of its Own Medicine

One of the RIAA's targets recently received a judgment in her favor that could hold the RIAA responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills that she has accumulated in fighting the charges. Her case was thrown out when the RIAA could not provide any evidence that she had shared the files in question over the Kazaa network, and the judge dismissed the case "with prejudice."

According to Wired, "The 'with prejudice' aspect of the judgment means that each party can try to get the other to pay their attorneys' fees. Magistrate judge Donald C. Ashmanska already ruled that the RIAA would have to pay some or all of Anderson's fees, after all of the threats it made against her."

Tanya Anderson has also stated that she will continue to pursue her counterclaims against the RIAA.
