Yahoo News is running a Wall Street Journal story stating that refund checks will be coming soon on the music industry price-fixing suit.

More than three million music consumers in 40 states will begin receiving refund checks starting Friday from the settlement of a lawsuit against the five major music companies and three music retailers, California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said Thursday.

The $13.86 checks represent individual shares of a $67.4 million settlement in a class-action antitrust lawsuit that alleged the music companies and retail chains including Trans World Entertainment Corp., MTS Inc.’s Tower Records, and Musicland Stores Corp. illegally conspired to inflate CD, cassette and record prices.

$27.72 (one check for Jen, one for me) is nothing to sneeze at. With the Do-Not-Call story below, that’s two bits of anti-evil corporation news in one day… cool.
