If you bought any &ldquo;prerecorded Music Products, consisting of compact discs, cassettes and vinyl albums, from one or more retailers during the period January 1, 1995, through December 22, 2000&rdquo; then you are eligible to receive from $5 to $20, depending on the amount of people who file claims.  Initially I was a little skeptical about this, but after reading <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/news\/digiwood\/0,1412,57111,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">this story on Wired.com<\/a> telling of the surprising lack of respondents I decided to <a href=\"https:\/\/webform.MusicCDSettlement.com\/english\/forms\/questions.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">file a claim<\/a>.  If you haven&rsquo;t done so already, file your claim; you have until March 2nd.  The only problem with publicizing this too well is that if enough people respond to drive the settlement per person below $5, all of the money goes to charity.  This sounds a little too convenient, although I&rsquo;ll hold out my hopes for now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/3501955-90162166?l=www.driko.org%2Findex_blogger.html\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you hadn&rsquo;t heard, several music companies recently made a settlement in response to a class-action suit alleging price-fixing of music.
