I learned of this from an item in this Monday's "Lockergnome" newsletter. It
relates to a class-action lawsuit entitled "In re:Compact Disc Minimum
Advertised Price Antitrust Litigation." Anyone living in the U.S. who bought
recorded music between 1995 and 2000 is apparently eligible to sign up as a
member of the "settlement group."
According to the author of the Lockergnome item: "All you have to do is go to
the Music CD Settlement Web site, answer three questions, and then fill in your
contact information. Took me less than five minutes. The settlement payouts per
person can vary from $5 to $20 depending on how many people take part in the
settlement."
The deadline is soon: "Claim Forms must be filed electronically or signed and
postmarked no later than March 3, 2003."
