Sony Rootkit Settlement Gets Judge's Approval
Lewis Clarke wrote to mention a ZDNet story about Monday's final approval of the rootkit settlement in the case brought against Sony BMG Music. From the article: "The agreement covers anyone who bought, received or used CDs containing what was revealed to be flawed digital rights management (DRM) software after Aug. 1, 2003. Those customers can file a claim and receive certain benefits, such as a nonprotected replacement CD, free downloads of music from that CD and additional cash payments ... At least 15 different lawsuits were filed by class action lawyers against the record label, and the New York cases were eventually consolidated into one proceeding. The parties reached a preliminary settlement with Sony BMG in December, leaving it up to a judge in a U.S. District Court in New York to make it official. "
"I think a four or five years of community service for the entire company (say 20 hours a week), would be about what's deserved for a widespread crack attempt like this."
Of course you don't, you're just whoring. What's new. Say something ridiculous that no one but an imbecile could actually believe, not because it's true or reasonable, but because you'll get your little points.
OOOH!! Someone finally likes you! (so you think, it's not true) They modded you up, so you're not a useless waste of life.
Except that's not true either. If it were you'd be doing instead of wasting time here talking. I can't wait for the lies you're going to try to pass off about how you are doing, despite the fact that you're here EVERY day all day long. That certainly leaves time for you to act on the suggestions you made...
I think running you over with a steamroller will cure AIDS. As soon as you endorse my plan, I'll pretend to be as stupid as you and endorse yours.
