I don't either. This sounds fishy indeed.

I seen the same add in the back of National Geographic. But I don't think I am going to bother with a free 20 bucks.

I signed up for it...

Why? This seems all too much like some sort of shady scam to me. Besides, there are more direct ways to get the value back.

Damn! Applies only in the States...I could do with a twenty extra bucks...

I heard about it on the radio. Of course I don't have a Social security number, so when they ask for the last 4 numbers I can't. I also haven't bought a CD, so that would be fraud if I signed up.

The other part of the settlement requires the record industry to give away 78 million in CDs to charity... like what are they going to do with these CDs

. Besides CDs are cheap to make so the actual value is much, much lower.

At least this is more money than other lawsuits, where you only get a few cents.

Nope, no receipts, no proof of anything really.

Then what keeps them from being exploited by people who haven't bought any CDs?

By the fact that everyone think's it's a hoax, I guess...

If more than 8.5 million people sign up, they won't mail out money to individuals. They'll just give the money out for the states to waste on music related things. Also the amount of money given to each decreases the more people sign up. Oh well I don't care since I can't get any money.

*dons full Stormtrooper Armor cuz he really Really REALLY doesn't want pinkeye, plus a Stormy with a Quake 3 Railgun just looks H3LLA K3WL!*

In A.D. 2101
Poke was beginning.
<<POKE!!>>
N00b: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the Poke
Operator: We get signal
N00b: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on
N00b: It's You !!
E. Sn0 -=31337=-: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN !!
E. Sn0 -=31337=-: ALL YOUR POKE ARE BELONG TO US
E. Sn0 -=31337=-: YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION
N00b: What you say !!
E. Sn0 -=31337=-: YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME
E. Sn0 -=31337=-: HA HA HA HA ....
N00b: Take off every 'Zig'
N00b: You know what you doing
N00b: Move 'Zig'
N00b: For great justice

*Pokes the N00b with his Railgun*

<(BZAPP!!!)>

{SPLAT!!}

*Sn0 laughs with glee as the Depleted-Uranium Rail Slug hits flesh at Mach 8. The massive hydroshock, the flash-vaporization, the violent stripping of flesh from bone, bone immediately shattering into tiny razor-sharp shards and getting propelled throughout his body at half the slug's speed instantly severs Pink Eye's body at the waist and flays it into a rapidly-expanding cloud of chunky gibs, jagged ribbons of cooked meat, and crimson salsa...*

Oops I shoulda used my Poking Railgun Ammo, not the Anti-Troll ammo... Ah well...
