AOL Settles Class Action Suit Over Client Software

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the katz-is-first-in-line dept.

An anonymous reader sent in news that AOL is settling a class action suit over their AOL 5.0 software, which usurped people's dial-up networking settings when installed. There's a website for the suit and a news article about the settlement. Of course, you have to admit you use AOL.

    I guess even first posters don't want to admit they use AOL!

    I'm torn about AOL. I used to want their complete destruction. But now I want to see them reinstate Netscape in the browser market, and then I want their complete destruction.

    Everybody: Hi Jon!
