- henning 18y agoThe most ridiculous argument the RIAA makes is that if things continue, there won't be any more pop stars. Whether or not that's true, saying it like that's a bad thing is ridiculous.
- shard 18y agoAfter lawyer fees, she probably got only a few thousand dollars.
- ojbyrne 18y agoAs the article says at the end, that's where Phase II of the process starts, where she is going to sue them for malicious prosecution. Let's hope she wins that too, and the award is large enough to actually hurt the companies (i.e. punitive damages).
- briancooley 18y agoIt's a class action suit with about 10,000 potential class members, so the punitive damages could be substantial.
- pmorici 18y agoThe point of the judgment was to pay her legal bills. So I wouldn't be surprised if all of it went to her lawyers.
- noonespecial 18y agoOne of her lawyers is named "Ben Justus"? I'd have smirked incredulously at that if it had been in a movie.
- agentbleu 18y agoway to go, these labels tactics are not fit for public consumption.
