p2pnet - rss feed: RIAA must pay Debbie Foster interest
p2pnet news | RIAA News:- Oklahoma mother Debbie Foster is still trying to force Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG’s RIAA to pay up after winning her case against them.
Their RIAA failed to get a court ruling that Foster was a massive online distributor of copyrighted music.
In a first for RIAA victims, “after having used every trick in the legal book to avoid paying Foster’s attornies’ fees, as they’d been ordered to do, the labels’ RIAA has been told to pay her not $55,000, as she’d originally asked, but almost $70,000,” p2pnet posted, going on:
“It’s a major triumph for Foster and her lawyer, Marilyn Barringer-Thomson, who haven’t wavered in their determination to bring the RIAA to book and make then pay what they owe.”
In the latest instalment, judge Lee R. West partially granted Ms. Foster’s motion to amend judgment, agreeing with Barringer-Thomson that the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has to pay interest from the date of judgment until the date of payment, and ordering it to pay the interest by September 13, 2007, says Recording Industry vs The People.
But he also ruled there’s no legal basis to order the RIAA to make the check payable to Foster’s attorneys rather than her directly, says the post.
Stay tuned.
