4. Ha!! There are so many N-flix subscribers out there ---
when I worked as a rural carrier for UPS I had a separate bin in my car
to collect them (so as not to have to separate them out later) and it was
CHOCK FULL by the end of the day ... $27 million would probably equate to about
.000001 cent per customer!

7. Actually, if you read the complaint...Lawyers get 25% of the Wal-Mart settlement.


There are 8 people named as part of the original suits.

Yes, I KNOW the rest of us will not get diddly.
But, I am pleased that there actually was a lawsuit against Wal-Mart.
And a settlement, which means anyone who can find a lawyer willing to sue them,
and who does not join the class action suit, can sue for money damages.

6. Sounds like a plain ol' data mining scheme to me.
Get a list of people who rent DVD's from Netflix who are attracted to bright shiny objects like the word "FREE."

You have to contact them to be included.

You have to contact them to be EX-cluded.

wha-- ?

Yes, I am not clicking on anything here. I had plenty of spam email over seeing if I could find anyplace online to get videos, it just smells real bad to me, nothing against the OP's intentions here.
