Legal settlement in case against music retailers brings flood of unwanted CDs to public libraries
Public Library Association President Clara N. Bohrer responds to national CD settlement, distribution to public libraries
Chicago -- In theory there is much to like about the 2002 settlement of a lawsuit filed by New York and Florida against three of the United States' largest music retailers. The settlement provided $67.4 million in consumer refunds and roughly 7 million free music CDs valued at $75.7 million to America's public libraries and schools.
