A possible SonyBMG class-action settlementA possible SonyBMG class-action settlementPosted Dec 30, 2005 8:55 UTC (Fri) by Wol (guest, #4433)Parent article: A possible SonyBMG class-action settlement
"Class members must assert that they have run the uninstaller or the removal tool" (non-literal quote).
What about those people (like me) who did a "format c:"?
Okay, as a non-American, I can't be a class member, but there must be plenty of class members like me!
Cheers,

A possible SonyBMG class-action settlement Posted Dec 30, 2005 9:10 UTC (Fri) by hppnq (subscriber, #14462) [Link] Do you still have the original cd? ;-)
A possible SonyBMG class-action settlement Posted Dec 30, 2005 11:27 UTC (Fri) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link] Yes I do. BUT THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
Go to page 18, and notice "That to take part in the exchange program ..." it is a requirement that I have "(3) run the XCP uninstaller or updater".
So in order to get a good CD that I can safely play in my computer, I *M*U*S*T* first run the infected and dangerous CD! That's just dire!
Oh - and I don't actually have a clue what protection is on my CD, but I strongly suspect it's MediaMax which isn't (for some strange reason) included in the recall program!
The more I look at this "settlement", the more I think it looks like a trojan horse :-(
Cheers,
install the spyware in a novel way then Posted Dec 30, 2005 16:16 UTC (Fri) by stuart (subscriber, #623) [Link] Run it under wine or macos X etc. The fact the program doesn't execute in the way they intended is hardly your problem is it? For that matter run it through notepad.exe on windows.
Above all, stop worrying about the terms of the settlement. The shocking thing is people were prepared to settle at all.
Stu.
