Optical Disk Drive Products Antitrust Litigation

Dear Class Member:

Our records indicate that you have purchased a new computer or laptop with an internal Optical Disk Drive (ODD) or a stand-alone ODD designed for internal or external use between April 1, 2003 and December 31, 2008. You are eligible for up to $10/drive from settlements reached in antitrust litigation currently pending in Federal court. This is an estimate of the settlement amount which could increase or decrease.

ODD refers to a DVD-RW, DVD-ROM, or COMBO drive sold by a number of manufacturers including Panasonic, Sony, Hitachi-LG Data Storage, Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology, Lite-On, and Pioneer.

Submitting a claim is as easy as clicking on the link below and confirming the number of drives purchased during the settlement period.
 
I get stuff like this all the time. I just fill it out and get a check in the mail 1-2 years later.
 
Ok, thanks my security from Charter was blocking me from going to that site.
 
You should not be blocked from any sites by your provider. Did you install their software of have you not changed your settings for DNS resolution to OpenDNS or Google?
 
I got one of these in my email, not sure how they got my email, especially since it's an email I used a long time ago and only used it to order stuff. (I don't get spam on this email and I haven't used it in years, only for a couple sites to order stuff) My guess is newegg gave them a list of people that ordered optical disk drives.
 
quite a few states omitted in the fine print. Ohio is not mentioned, so I guess we are SOL? damn shame
