The Lowell library has received dozens of boxes of 'junk' music, such as 83 identical Michael Bolton cds, dozens of identical christmas CDs, etc. If I understand correctly, the *original retail
value* of these CD's are being used against the $144M settlement. If I find out details on when it will air, I'll follow up. Background on RIAA settlemnt : http://www.boingboing.net/2004/06/23/riaa_squats_and_dump.html Has anyone else had local coverage of this gross injustice? ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
