Creative Zen class action lawsuit

Couldn’t fit those last two Oingo Boingo albums on your Zen when you thought you had abundant space? Get ready for payback, considering whether you own a Creative Labs MP3 player made amoung May 5, 2001 and April 30, 2008, you could be entitled to a class-action settlement by that very issue. The settlement — not the first of its kind — will force Creative to “make convinced disclosures regarding the

storage capacity of its hard disc drive MP3 players” and give a 50% reduction on a new 1GB player or 20% off any item purchased at Creative’s online store. Applications are due by August 7, 2008, so start digging up those serial numbers.
