The top five record labels and the top three music chains have agreed to pay 67.4 million in cash to settle the price-fixing case that was started two years ago. They also agreed to distrubute 75 million dollars of CD's to public and non-profit groups. My favorite quote from USAToday, "Former FTC chairman Robert Pitofsky said at the time that consumers had been overcharged by $ 480 million since 1997 and that CD prices would soon drop by as much as $ 5 a CD as a result." Hopefully prices will start dropping soon so I can afford to buy CD's again.
