News RIAA Gives $108,000 to the Local Economy (Sort Of)

The O is reporting on a Beaverton woman who was awarded $108,000 from the RIAA, after the music industry trade group falsely accused, and sued, her for illegal downloading.

Of course the payment is for her “attorney fees and costs in successfully fighting a lawsuit filed by the recording industry against her,” which means she probably won’t have any money left over to—oh I don’t know—buy music. But I guess it’s just nice to see someone not crushed by the wheels of RIAA litigation.
