Ya its not huge but WTF. you dont even need receipts


If you bought a CD between 1995 to 2000, you could be missing out on up to $20!

A massive CD price fixing settlement set aside millions of dollars for those who bought over-priced CDs in the late 90's, but almost no one is collecting.

$44 million has been earmarked to give to customers who bought anything from Shania Twain to Metallica on CD, and you don't even need a receipt to collect.

By the end of December, only about 30,000 people nationwide had applied for a piece of the pie, a tiny fraction of the number the settlement could handle. No figure was available for just Washington state.

"The response thus far has been fairly abysmal," said Washington Attorney General Christine Gregoire, who's tried going on morning radio shows to promote the settlement. " I just want to make sure that Washington consumers get what they're entitled to receive."

Gregoire was among the attorneys general of 41 states and commonwealths who accused record companies of conspiring with music distributors to boost the prices of CDs between 1995 and 2000.

The companies settled rather than endure a costly legal battle.

The settlement's Web site has been up for a month, and legal notices have been published in TV Guide, Parade and other national magazines, but the response rate has been very low, said Tina Kondo, a senior assistant attorney general in Gregoire's office.

"I guess people don't like to read legal notices," Kondo said.

Gregoire and other officials hope a radio advertising campaign set to launch soon will boost interest in the settlement.

Anyone who bought a CD, cassette tape or vinyl record (remember those?) at a retail store between 1995 and 2000 is eligible, and the window for applying doesn't close until March 3.
