Consumers Rush To Join CD Settlement
from the that-didn't-take-long dept
Apparently, all it took was for a single Associated Press article for the story to switch from no one signing up to get their music industry price fixing settlement money, to consumers are rushing to join the CD settlement. I know that since we posted the original story, I've seen it mentioned many many other places, and emailed to various lists I'm on multiple times. Of course, once enough people sign up, that just means that no one will get their money. If too many people sign up, then the money all goes to charity. Not that that's such a bad thing, of course.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
