The RIAA's anti-piracy crusade has suffered another blow, with it forced to pay $50,000 compensation to a woman it unsuccessfully sued for file sharing.

The ruling ups the stakes in the battle against peer to peer users, as a precedent now exists for the RIAA to compensate wrongfully-sued defendants for their legal costs, reports Wired.

The ruling comes as 16 year old Robert Santangelo lodges a countersuit against the RIAA. He was was reportedly just 11 when he allegedly downloaded music illegally.
