RIAA Short on Funds?
Can it be that the RIAA, or the “Big 4″ record companies it represents, are short on funds?
It turns out that despite the Judge’s order, entered a month ago, telling them to pay Debbie Foster $68,685.23 in attorneys fees, in Capitol v. Foster, they have failed to make payment, and Ms Foster has now had to ask the Court to enter Judgment, so that she can commence “post judgment collection proceedings”.
According to Ms. Foster’s motion papers (pdf), her attorneys received no response to their email inquiry about payment. Perhaps the RIAA should ask their lawyers for a loan.

The SoundExchange profits not enough to pay their legal bills? Sure is enough for their lobbying funds thats for sure. This makes me sick, they expect everyone else to cough up relentlessly when they demand them to, but when its their turn to do so they act like they don’t have to obey any laws themselves. This goes to show their true motives that they expect everyone to do everything in their favour and never the other way around.

I guess they must be short on funds. Here they’re fighting for their dear lives to collect $543.

officially SoundExchange is not the RIAA and SoundExchange is a non-profit organisation(lol) so chances of them paying for the RIAA(or being forced to pay) is zero.
RIAA will have to get the money in the end or face some type of liquidation of assets to pay.
