Sony is one agressive company. They make up fake movie reviews, they've been involved in the recent spate of payola, and now this. F'em. It was a "SNEAK ATTACK" you ba$tards!

Sounds like they are taking a bit more than a slap on the wrist for this.
I would rather that they were forced into a cash settlement rather than giving consumers the ability to download music, but they seem to be making ammends.
However, I'm curious if they broke criminal laws in doing this. If so, the criminal cases should not end because of this settlement.

I don't buy Sony records. Wouldn't listen to Japanese pop music even if they paid me!

Customers who exchange their XCP CD can either download three albums from a list of over 200 titles, or claim a cash payment of $7.50 and a free download of one album. Offering free downloads as an indemnity for infecting computers with malware is like offering free surgery as an indemnity for medical malpractice.
