Text of Dismissal and Final Order
After refusing to pay the RIAA’s standard $5,000 settlement demand, a mother who didn’t even own a computer fought the RIAA in court. Over the RIAA’s objections, she was awarded attorneys fees and the case alleging copyright infringement for file sharing was dismissed after the RIAA failed to provide details as to the time and name of files allegedly downloaded to her computer.
