Kansas AG Rejects Settlement Discs

RWarrior(fobw) writes "Kansas's Attorney General has rejected 1600 CDs by 25 different artist as part of the music industry's anti-trust settlement. Is this a community values issue, a censorship issue, or just crap music being foisted off onto the public as part of a meaningless settlement?"

  1. Once againe, Slashdot get's it all wronge by Saeed+al-Sahaf · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Once again, the Slashdot writ-up and the actual story do not quite jive together. The story itself is NOT about the fact that the music industry is foisting off crappy CDs that they need to get rid of, as a part of the settlement. What the story ***IS*** about is rap music. The Kansas AG does not like the politics of the music, saying (rightly so) that it is overly sexual and violent. We ***ARE NOT*** talking about the music industry sending 2500 Engleburt Humperdink CDs to the schools and libraries. RTFA!!! And Slashdot editors: Do you even RTFA???? Clearly not.
