So more on this check now, as I know I've been keeping you all on the edge of your seats. Due to a class-action lawsuit a bunch of really rich people were forced to pay some not so rich people all the money this money, because they'd been screwing them over. I'll elaborate! The Compact Disc Minimum Advertised Price Antitrust Litigation. The lawsuit was brought about 43 of the 50's States Attorneys Generals. This all was way back in 2002, so long ago. I filled my claim and now here I am today with the check. Yahoo has a good story on it, if you want more.
