RIAA Sues An Attorney, "To Punish Him," For Successfully Defending A Woman They Sued.  Claim He Defended Her Only To Annoy Them.  Seriously!
And yes, they are suing her for not losing 


Claiming defense attorney Ray Beckerman is a "vexatious" litigator, meaning that he defended his client just so he could use the legal system to harass them, the RIAA is suing him for unspecified damages "to punish him."   Seriously.  This isn't a lesson to demonstrate "irony."  This is real stuff.

They claim this because Ray Beckerman has stated in his blog, in many ways, that he doesn't like the RIAA and he also takes cases defending people from the RIAA .  That's all.

They are suing his client too.  It mentions something about her not giving them enough evidence so they could win, or some such nonsense.  Anyway, she needs to be punished too.
