Tanya Andersen finally gets money for attorney's fees awarded to her by a federal judge back in May, and now plans to go after the RIAA for malicious prosecution.
The shoe is finally on the other foot with news that Tanya Andersen, the single mother in Portland, Oregon, received a settlement fee from the RIAA instead of the other way around.
Unlike many other file-sharing defendants whom have decided to quickly settle with the RIAA out of fear or unwillingness to hassle with the courts and expensive attorney costs, Andersen decided to put up fight for the mere reason that she is innocent. She could have settled quietly by paying them a few thousand dollars to go away, but she hadn't illegally downloaded any music tracks so she refused to pay.
"Have you considered paying to get the RIAA off your back?" she said in an interview with P2P.
