After falsely accusing a victim and trying to extort money from them a court has ordered the RIAA member company Capitol records to pay the court costs involved
http://www.slyck.com/story1540_Capitol_Records_Ordered_to_Pay_Attorney_FeesFor the first time ever, the RIAA has been ordered to pay attorney fees in the "Capitol Records, Inc. vs. Debbie Foster and Amanda Foster" case.
The case against the Fosters began like any other. In November of 2004, the recording industry (in this case Capitol Records) filed suit against Debra and Amanda Foster of Oklahoma. The Plaintiffs claimed that Debra Foster had "contributorily and/or vicariously infringed Plaintiffs' copyrighted recordings, including, but not limited to the extent that one of members of their household engaged in copyright infringement."
Ms. Foster's defense wanted the plaintiffs to provide the exact details of the alleged infringement, something Capitol Records ostensibly couldn't provide.
"We respectfully believe that this ruling is in error and is an isolated occurrence,” an RIAA spokesperson told Slyck.com
I,m sure other judges will make a note of the fact that the RIAA feels they have paid enough politicians off and the judiciary should do as they are told and just rubber stamp these cases in favour of the fraudsters at the RIAA, its plain they made no effort to reach a settlement early on instead relying on their steamroller legal machine to sue anyone regardless of whether they had in fact commited any civil offence or not, something we hear a lot of these days as many cannot afford to fight on in a case that escalates into tens of thousands of dollars.
This is not justice folks its extortion and I,m not afraid to say so, lets hope more folks sue these RIAA parasites out of existence, artists have been getting a crap deal from such monopoly organisations for too long now, perhaps they should sue too.
