Court Approves Ringtone Lawsuit Settlement

A court in Chicago has given preliminary approval to settle 30 class-action lawsuits against companies that charged for ringtones, games and other content that end users thought were free. Each claimant will receive either $10 cash award or a $10 refund (via their carrier). Given the number of possible claimants, the companies in question may pay out as much as $63 million. Some of the defendants include Sony Pictures, MBlox, and Lavalife.

    Hi, I believe that ringtones one day will all be controlled by the cell phone companies and your phone will not even ring unless you buy a ringtone from them!!!
