Kansas AG Rejects Settlement Discs

Posted by timothy on from the because-these-suck dept.

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. Crap CD's from what I hear.... by the_argent · · Score: -1, Redundant

    There was a story in our local paper about the types of CD's that they are sending out to the libraries as part of the settlement. A single library will get like 18 copies of Whitney Houston singing the national anthem. The article made it seem like they were just dumping crap CD's off to the libraries.

  2. Record companies got a deal... by Fjandr · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If they were guilty, even if they send out 5,000,000 discs, they got a killer deal on this one. Look at the cost per disc to mass-produce. Each copy costs the company almost nothing, yet they can claim losses of ~$24.99 per disc.
