Subject: THE DMUSICIAN - EFF Settlement

http://www.eff.org/sony/

The settlement process has begun in The Electronic Frontier Foundation
class action lawsuit against Sony BMG for the flawed digital rights
management(DRM) that Sony BMG released in millions of CDs over the last
several years.

DMusic has been working with EFF to notify as may people as possible so
they can get some redress against Sony BMG pursuant to the class action
settlement, or alternatively, choose to seek compensation against Sony BMG
individual in their own lawsuit.

Music fans who bought the affected CDs can submit claims for clean
music. Many customers are also eligible for extra downloads or a small
cash settlement.

SO PLEASE CHECK OUT http://www.eff.org/sony/ for more details about the
settlement, including a list of the CDs affected. AND MAKE sure you
don't stick an infected CD in your computer - it will plant malicious
spyware that is difficult to remove!
