Sony settles, wishes people could forget the XCP acronym as soon as possible
Sony BMG, desperate to be done with the rootkit fiasco as quickly as possible, settled the consolidated class-action lawsuit filed by angry customer a couple of months ago. Customers who bought XCP-infected CDs will be given a $7.50 cash award and a free album download, for each disc. Good news for those who bought MediaMax-infected discs too, though these’ll have to settle with just a free replacement (i.e. no cash for ‘em).
