Netflixsettlementsucks.com Objection Posted

Brandon says: "Christopher Ambler and his legal team have posted their draft objection to the proposed Netflix Settlement (the one that sucks) that Boing Boing wrote about last month.

"Anyone included in the settlement who haven't already opted out can sign onto the 27 page objection at netflixsettlementsucks.com."

Perhaps most ironically, if a significant number of class members do in fact submit claim forms, the result will be that NetFlix has to distribute hundreds of thousands of extra DVDs over a short period of time. Since there is no indication that NetFlix plans to expand its DVD inventory for this upsurge, the natural result will be that all of its subscribers will face significant delays in receiving the movies of their choice, all without being informed in advance of these delays; in other words, the “cure” will actually exacerbate the disease.
