    All totaled, they are asking for $4M. Sony and the "class counsel", however, want to limit the EFF's portion of the fees (which was requested at around $2M) to no more than $100,000.

  4. Fairness Hearing Scheduled for May 22, 2006 by marklyon · · Score: 4, Informative · on EFF Pushes Consumers to Claim Rootkit Compensation
    SonySuit.com has information about the fairness hearing on May 22, 2006 at 9:15 am at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse for the Southern District of New York at 500 Pearl Street, Room 2270, New York, NY.

    Don't forget -- claims MUST BE submitted by December 31, 2006. If you want to be excluded from the settlement, you MUST FILE before May 1, 2006. If you do not exclude yourself, you can attend the fairness hearing, at your own expense, and be heard by yourself or through your attorney.

    I run the SonySuit.com website an plan to start collecting messages about the settlement to submit to the court as exhibits to my statement at the fairness hearing. If you have a comment about the settlement, send it to sonysuit@gmail.com.

    Some suits have ended, but there's still at least two in Canada that I've not heard of a resolution. Sony still stands to lose in the courts or bargaining tables all around the world from their rootkit DRM crime in Texas and California [last I heard].

  7. We need 1000 people to opt out - now by Animats · · Score: 2, Informative · on Sony Settlement Start of DRM Protection Act?
    This settlement is terrible. Almost everything Sony is agreeing to, they've already done to avoid prosecution in New York and Texas. In exchange, they get unlimited relief from lawsuits from everybody whose systems were damaged by their program. That's a giveway.

    One of the terms of the settlement is that if more than 1000 people opt out of it, the deal goes bust. There's going to be an opt out form soon. Check it out, and take the opt-out option.

    What Sony did wasn't responsible, it was, in fact, a crime in many areas. Call and report it to your local police department.

    On the civil side, you don't have to wait for the class action lawsuits against Sony BMG Music Entertainment and First 4 Internet to wind their way through the courts -- you can sue on your own in Small Claims Court. For a useful guide to get you started, visit SonySuit.com.

    A division of Sony, Sony BMG Music Entertainment has already demonstrated that Sony doesn't care about its customers. Don't trust any of their products.
