The music industry bought my lunch today!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

That’s right, I got my CD price fixing class action suit settlement check in the mail. A whole $13.86. I can scarcely contain myself. It bought lunch today, and will again tomorrow.

Wow, I feel such a rush of justice.

Never again will I have to pay an inflated price for a CD.

…right?

Woohoo! Just got my check in the mail. That 13.86 is going straight towards my college education… :smiley:

Yours came late. It’s been almost two weeks since I sent my well deserved funds back out to recirculate.

4

Did you go with the case of beer?

5

The case of beer would have been bought with or without the settlement check. It’s on the Necessity List, along with milk, bread, toilet paper, and Jax.

I went out and got the Basillico’s House Special pizza. Mushrooms, sausage, peppers, olives, onions, and pepperoni. (Good thing TP is on the necessary list, lemme tell you :slight_smile: )

I got mine a few days ago. I am going to go see an overpriced movie with it.

What I want to know is, why the hell did these class action lawyers go for this lousy settlement, instead of pressuring for the prices on CDs to drop? Who do I sue over that? Its totally void of any justice whatsoever. This tiny check won’t even buy me another new (overpriced) CD. Where’s the justice in lawyers collecting millions, a few thousand people collecting less than $14 apiece, and CDs, which the record company basically admits to overpricing stay the same price?
WTF???

Actually, if you look at the date I started this thread it’s the same day you started yours. But nobody replied until today. :confused:

They might have been busy interviewing business managers and attorneys to handle their sudden wealth.

10

You’re probably right. If you convert that $13.86, you get 18,452,319.19 Turkish Lira! :stuck_out_tongue:

My college’s post office is pretty bad. I’m sure I’m one of the last people to get the check. Almost started a new thread before I found this one in a quick search…

I think I’m going to spend my 13.86 buying 14 iTunes…

12

Dang! I got my check a week or two ago, forgot about it, and now it’s, uh, “somewhere in my apartment.” I’ll have to get a shovel and clean off the coffee table to find it.

Anyway, thanks for reminding me.
