So...how much was your CD MAP settlement check?
http://www.musiccdsettlement.com/english/default.htm
Just got mine on monday and it was $15....
don't know what that means. It was supposed to be like
$5/CD...but since so many people signed up, it looks
like it came down to like 2 or 3 bucks per CD.
I guess, once again, the only ones getting rich are
the lawers...

=====
In 1913, Lee De Forest was prosecuted by U.S. government officials
for claiming to potential investors that his company, RCA, would soon be
able to transmit the human voice over the Atlantic Ocean. The
prosecuting officials argued that his claim was so utterly ridiculous
that he was surely ripping off investors. He was ultimately released
but not before being admonished by the judge to stop making any more
fraudulent claims.
