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.

  1. and for those of us who work for other ISPs... by Artifex · · Score: 4, Interesting

    and who had to do dialup support back when this came out, and had customers bitching and moaning at US because they were dumb enough to pop a CD someone mailed them into their computer... as always, there will be nothing.

    I swear, we should have kept track of the hours spent, and then billed AOL or something.
