Foster denied any part in illegal file sharing, but the RIAA kept up its case and added Debbie's daughter, Amanda, to the lawsuit. Instead of settling like most do, Debbie challenged the RIAA to produce further evidence including dates and times and records of the files she supposedly pirated. After not producing any records, the RIAA offered to withdraw its case.
In response, Debbie has asked to be awarded reasonable attorneys fees after the whole ordeal. She submitted her expenses to the court, to which the RIAA claimed she was asking for too much. It is this claim that led to the Judge ordering the RIAA to disclose its own legal fees.
