In Which I Fuck the RIAA
Why fuck the RIAA? Well, something like two years ago, I signed onto a class-action lawsuit against the record companies for price-fixing. All you needed to sign onto this was a name and address and to say you had purchased a CD in a certain time period, something like 1994-1999. The lawsuit said that if the settlement was less than $5 per person, then it wouldn't go to people, but rather to charity. I figured that would happen. But no! Today, in my mailbox, I recieved a check from the attorney general of Ohio, saying that I won a total of $13.86. Boo. Ya.
I may buy a CD with that money. Hah.
