What your refund for the outrageous CD prices you've been paying? File your claim against the RIAA to get your piece of the settlement. All claims must be filed by March 3rd.

Bah! This is hogwash!. According to Wired , very few people have signed up during the month the offer has been available. Well duh! First of all, there is no guarantee that you'll receive anything.

Quote:
If more than about 8.8 million people apply, in which case the per-person share would drop below $5, the customer part of the settlement will be canceled. Sending out such small checks is just too expensive. Instead, the money will go to public entities and nonprofit organizations in each state to promote music programs. The settlement already calls for those organizations to receive 5.5 million CDs valued at $75.7 million.
Secondly, why even bother? I probably purchased about 90% of my albums during that timeframe. A $20 rebate is a slap in the face by the guilty party. I'd prefer to have my whopping $20 share go to a worthwhile organization.

Thirdly, to sign up for the rebate you must provide lots of personal information at a web site that does not have a written privacy policy. I really don't care to have my name, email address, and demographic data sold to the highest bidder.

And finally, the claim is against the five largest music companies and three of the USA's largest music retailers. Not the RIAA. Ok, well that's it from me, see ya. laugh
