RIAA Victim Wins Attorney's Fees

VE3OGG writes "Debbie Foster, one of the many caught-up in the RIAA's drift-net attacks who was sued back in 2004 has recently seen yet another victory. After having the suit dropped against her "with prejudice" several months back, Foster filed a counter-claim, and has just been awarded "reasonable" attorney's fees. Could this, in conjunction with cases such as Santangelo, show a turning of the tide against the RIAA?"

Could /. stop ending summaries with "Could this be the end of <something most /. readers think is bad>?"?

Could /. posters stop asking other /. posters to stop summarizing articles with "Could this be the end of <something evil>?"?

Unless the prosecution has video surveillance of your house/apartment, it'll be very hard to *prove* who did what.

Ssshhh!!!! Don't give Alberto Gonzales any ideas!

Alas, my mod points disappeared today... Or I would have given you an "Insightful" for most accurate acronym for a US law, ever.

One problem is though, such a precedent can also be used to protect criminals such as spammers, frauds, and so on.

Don't forget child molesters.
