CD-Price Fixing

"In September, the five top U.S. distributors of compact discs and three large music retailers agreed to pay $143 million in cash and CDs to settle allegations they cheated consumers by fixing prices.

The lawsuit alleged that the companies -- upset with low prices charged by some stores -- conspired with retailers to set music prices at a minimum level, effectively raising the retail prices consumers paid for CDs.

Part of the settlement -- about $44 million in cash -- is earmarked to pay customers from $5 to $20, depending on how many people wind up dividing the money."

So, like they ::points up to list of people gacked from:: said GO HERE to get your money back from the music industry.


And the RIAA wants us to feel sorry for them for losing so much money from file-sharing.
