Sadly, I live in the only state that didn't join up with the lawsuit. Thanks Lori! (Not that I bought much from the agency publishers after 4/1/10).

I, for one, despise the "sale" system. Price it right, price it fair, and be done with it. I believe in a free market, which does not mean that the government gets to tell companies how they must sell or price their products. Customers are not obligated to purchase anything, which means that no matter what pricing scheme a business chooses, if customers ultimately conclude that the value does not justify the expense, the pricing model will fail. Far too often, government assumes the product and then dictates the terms. "Who is John Galt?" |

I have no problem with individual companies setting high prices, if it's more than I'm willing to pay, I do without or go elsewhere. However, that works under the idea that a market will eventually adjust and if prices really are too high it opens room for a competitor to enter. Collusion prevents that. |

Nope. Waiting on it. We got the emails ages ago. I think they are waiting to send out one credit. Personally, I would prefer to get the credit from the Publishers and then the credit from Apple.
