Only one problem....in the fine print it says:

"The cash paid by the Defendants, after the payment of attorneys' fees,
litigation and Settlement administration costs, shall be distributed to
consumers who purchased Music Products.........If the number of claims filed
would result in refunds of less than $5.00 per claimant, there will be no
cash distribution to individual consumers. Rather, the cash portion of the
Settlement shall be distributed to not-for-profit, charitable, governmental
or public entities to be used for music-related purposes or programs for the
benefit of consumers who purchased Music Products."

Which means, of course, that very likely millions of folks here in America
are going to be filing claims in an effort to get that free lunch, and
nobody will get anything.  In other words, its a wasted effort to file a
claim...your share is going to come out to less that $5.00 and the cash
portion of the settlement will go to some non-profit organization somewhere.

So, the old adage that "there's no such thing as a free lunch" STILL holds
true....sorry....:(
