RIAA Ordered To Cover Defendant's Legal Fees

The RIAA, after suffering a string of high profile loses in court and other legal setbacks, was just ordered to pay $70,000 in legal fees for someone they tried (unsuccessfully) to sue. Now that is funny!

Until Monday's ruling in this case, called Capitol v. Foster, the Recording Industry Association of America had never been ordered to pay attorneys' fees as part of its ongoing battle against allegedly illicit file swapping, according to attorney Ray Beckerman, who has been tracking such suits at the blog Recording Industry vs The People.
