In case you hadn't come across it yet, there's a site set up where you can file your claim in the "Minimum Advertised Pricing" settlement. This was where the major record labels were caught fixing prices with regard to "big box" electronics stores like Best Buy and Circuit City. Basically, if you bought a CD between 1995 and 2000, or something like that, you're entitled to between $5 and $20, depending on how many people file claims. That's not per disk purchased, that's total. This is one of those weird things where you want people to know about it, because the major labels suck and they need to know that they suck, but if too many people file a claim, nobody will get any money. Then again, it's only $20, max. Later, COZ

Eek, my bad. Who the hell am I thinking of, then? Who's the guy who got in front of everyone at the Grammys and talked about how quickly kids can download songs off the internet?
That was the president of NARAS, not the RIAA. I think his name is Michael Greene. He's since stepped down, or was fired, because of many, many lingering questions about the MusiCares project and it's insane overhead costs. Later, COZ
