Microsoft Owes Money To California Residents
from the money-money-money dept
If you've just finished filling out your form to get some money back from the music industry for their price fixing ways (and you live in California), now get ready to do the exact same thing to get a little cash back from Microsoft. Microsoft has agreed to settle the class action suit filed against them in California by paying residents there who bought Microsoft software between $5 and $29 - in vouchers for more software (though, it doesn't have to be Microsoft software). I'm sure that there will be a similar sign up form as the CD money-back site.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
