For the first time ever, the RIAA has been ordered to pay attorney fees in the "Capitol Records, Inc. vs. Debbie Foster and Amanda Foster" case.
Initially, the defense requested attorney fees of $105,680.75, with additional fees bringing the total to $114,363.18 — a total that Capitol objected to immediately. Capitol argued the attorney fees in particular were objectionably high, and requested a 40% reduction. The court agreed with Capitol's objection due to "unnecessary time" spent resisting the plaintiffs, and reduced the attorney fees to $61, 576.60.
