Remember, this is the same group that is under Congressional investigation in California for its contract practices with musicians. Basically, this is an industry that cheats both its suppliers and its customers (on a massive scale) and then pays technophobes like Hilary Rosen to make impassioned public speeches about morality.

The music industry STILL owes you $20!. Man, this is disappointing. Every US resident who bought a CD in the US between 1995 and 2000 is entitled to up to $20 from the music cartel as part of a court-mandated settlement over the labels' illegal price-fixing, which is one way that the music industry has ripped off the public.

All you need to do is sign up at this site, and the RIAA will mail you a check. If so many people sign up that the settlement ends up getting spread too thin, the RIAA will mail charitable organizations the checks instead. You can't lose!

Unless you don't sign up. Despite notices of the settlement in TV Guide and throughout blogistan, the cash remains unclaimed. What are you waiting for? Claim it! [Boing Boing Blog]
