Bullying RIAA laywers

You have to wonder how the RIAA laywers are being paid after reading this story where witnesses has been bullied into perjury:

This is a 15-year-old girl, telling the story of how lawyers of a major industry group told her she had to commit perjury, just so they could win their case. Some might call that racketeering, and it's most certainly a highly illegal way to win a court case. The deposition strongly suggests that the RIAA knew they didn't have a leg to stand on, and that they were perfectly happy to do anything in their power to win anyway. Funny how rather than open their own wallets to settle, they prefer breaking the law themselves.

If I was an artist I would be mad! You also have to wonder what makes people do such a horrible thing to a kid? I don't know US law at all, but I sure hope the judge kicks their butt in whatever way possible.
