Funimation wins:

  • $50,000 in attorney fees.
  • $7,504 in additional cost
  • $5,000 in sanctions (Funimation sought over $175,000 here.)
Defendants Monica Rial and James Toye win:
  • $50,000 each in attorney fees
  • $15,927 in additional cost
  • $5,000 in sanctions (between attorney fees and sanctions, Rial and Toye were looking for a half a million dollars)
Jamie Marchi wins:
  • $48,137 in attorney fees
  • $1,874 in costs
  • $5,000 in sanctions (unlike the other defendants, Marchi pretty much got what she wanted)
That's a hefty penalty, but it could've been far worse:  $238,442.

He has appealed.  If he loses, the penalty goes up:
  • If he appeals and loses, it's $50,000 more to Funimation and Marchi, $55,000 jointly to Rial and Toye, and $37,500 for Marchi
  • If a third party appeals and it loses, they all get half that, more or less.
  • There is additional sanction if it makes the Texas Supreme Court with no change, and if it makes oral arguments there.
