Canadian Sony Rootkit Settlement Stirs Controversy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the neighbors-to-the-north-getting-less-love dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Canadian law professor Michael Geist is reporting that Sony BMG Canada has quietly kept a key legal document secret as part of its class action settlement over last year's rootkit case. The document, which is not on the Sony settlement site but has now been posted on Geist's site (pdf), contains a series of bogus arguments about why Canadians are receiving far less than U.S. consumers."
