Time is running out for music lovers to get money for nothing. If you bought a CD in the last five years, you could get $20. But you have to ask. In an-out of court price fixing settlement, record companies are required to give 44 million in cash back to consumers. Many consumers we talked to at Electric Fetus were unaware they were eligible.

The easiest way to make a claim is on the internet, at www.musiccdsettlement.com No receipt is necessary. All you have to do is answer three questions. One catch: if more than 8 million people apply, no cash will go out, and it will go to non-profit groups.

The legal notices have only appeared in a few places like TV Guide. The deadline is March 3rd. You must apply by then. There's also of toll free number at 877-347-4782.

5 years worth of FR at the current rate, but don't forget all the lurkers out there.

Why do I think that private citizens are never going to see the money?

I'd love to see this backfire on the defendants, but it won't. They'll payout less than 1 million, maybe less than 100,000 claims. But no matter the amount, they will use it to whine, twist it to claim that the public must not have had the perception of being rooked, and 50 other things they have already thought up.

At any rate, I'm splitting mine between JR, and FR.

Good plan.
