Here’s some great news for your RIAA haters (um, that’s probably everybody): Debbie Foster, the woman who was wrongfully sued by the RIAA has won her attorney’s fees.

This is important news because this sort of precedent will help make other lawsuit defendants more likely to fight it out to the end. This will hopefully be the crack that shatters the dam. We’ll see.
