Have you Received Your $13 from the RIAA?
bluephone asks: "The recent story about how the RIAA is scamming around their court approved settlement, I was reminded about the fact that they owe me money. During the registration period, I filed my claim for reimbursement, and my mother did too. They site claims that "Payments will be mailed to Music Purchasers who filed valid claims beginning on February 20, 2004 and two weeks should be allowed for delivery." It uses the future tense because it hasn't been updated since February 19, the day before the mailings were due to start. Well, it's been over 5 months, and neither myself, my mother, nor anyone I know has received their payment. And the only way to inquire about it is via a Post Office Box mailing address. So I ask you, oh Slashdot userbase, have you received your RIAA price fixing settlements?"
And, I'll be pissed if they send me Zamfir cds instead of a check!
I think I spent it on rum.
Where it says if you sign up along with a blood relative, you will be rounded up and shot for criminal copyright infringement and/or terrorism. It's a tough break for you and your mum.
.. I figure that's about $1200 bucks, can't wait to burn them to a DVD and take it down to CompUSA to get a new laptop! Piracy is The Awesome!
I didn't sign up, myself. I just downloaded U2's latest off Kazzaaaaza and then hit alt-D until I had about 100 copies
I got mine as well back in May, but those screwy bastards sent me $13 as
1,300 PENNIES!
Damn them, I almost broke my back.
Code poet, espresso fiend, starter upper.
About one week after they started sending the checks. I bought a copy of Seether's album Disclaimer with it.
Spent it on a good lunch. I was laughing throughout the entier meal since I never bought a CD from the RIAA.
Never could figure out why my girl liked my bitch tits, then I found out she was a lesbian.
I got mine, only thing was it was made out from the "Anal Sex Fettish Club". I even went inside to deposit that one, and winked at the cuttie behind the counter
Having spent a year dead for tax reasons, I seem to have missed all this. So, are CDs now fairly priced, or what?
I got mine and spent the money on a few spindles of blank CDs to uh... back up my songs... yeah that's it...
Pretty widgets? What pretty widgets?
And while $13 isn't much money, it's certainly more fun to know how much money the attorney's got for prosecuting the case against the RIAA. That $13 didn't line my pockets, but it certainly took away from the diamond-lined pockets of the RIAA. Wuhahahahahaha!!!
