P2P defendant Tanya Anderson awarded lawyer fees
Tanya Anderson, the P2P defendant that was accused by the record industry of stealing music but fought the charges and eventually won has just had another victory, having a significant amount of her substantial fees paid for by the bully record industry.
The music industry reps that originally sued her; Atlantic Recording, Priority Records, Capitol Records, UMG Recordings, and BMG Music wanted the usual settlement fund of about $3000 USD but Anderson denied their claims and took it to court. She would eventually have the complaints against her dropped, but not before she was over $300,000 USD in the hole with legal fees.
Because of the fact that the charges against her were dropped, she was entitled to make a claim for attorney fees and did see a victory, although not a full one. According to the judge presiding over the case, “Andersen now requests an award of attorney fees in the amount of$298,995.00 and costs in the amount of $5,387.05.” The music industry however, fought back against that claim and got the award lowered. The judge ordered that “Andersen should be awarded attorney fees in the amount of$103,175. Andersen’s Bill of Costs in the amount of $4,659 should be APPROVED.”
Although not all the money she was hoping for, its still good to see Tanya Anderson get some help to pay her extensive fees.
