Los Angeles
- The major record labels that sued Tanya Andersen (Atlantic v. Andersen) for
infringing their copyrights on file-sharing networks, then eventually dropped
their case, have been ordered by a federal court in Oregon to pay her nearly
$108,000 in attorneys fees and costs, P2PNet reports.
The sum is the largest
attorneys' fee award so far to be levied against the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA) in its legal campaign against file-swappers.
"This
will assist in levelling the playing field in other cases," Andersen's
lawyer, Lory Lybeck, told p2pnet.
