A woman sued by the Recording Industry Association Of American over P2P file sharing allegations, whose case was dismissed for lack of evidence, will have her legal fees paid for by the trade body.
A magistrate judge ordered the trade body to pay Tanya Andersen's legal costs when the P2P action was originally dismissed for lack of evidence, but the trade body appealed. According to the Recording Industry V The People blog, a District Court judge has now affirmed that decision, though the amount to be paid is still to be ascertained.
Andersen's previously reported countersuit against the RIAA, claiming the trade body breached privacy laws in monitoring her internet use, is still pending.
