When I did some Googling, I came up with some "Find Law" entries for various musical CD infringement suits by the artists and Nina's name linked to it. That is what I was referring to.
Such as "Brown et al -v- Ames & Collectibles" from 1994 and again in 2000. The original stating:
Quote:
|
The jury awarded the appellees misappropriation damages of $127,000 - $100,000 from Ames and $27,000 from Collectibles. In its final judgment of August 3, 1998, the court held Collectibles liable for $1,800 for copyright infringement and for $27,000 for misappropriation and Ames liable for $22,500 for copyright infringement and for $100,000 for misappropriation.

There were appeals and this is what you must be referring to with their name cleared. They lost the case originally but "burden of proof" helped clear their name.
I wasn't making any accusations that they were actually in the wrong, just that there have been suits against them for copyright violations and that is how I got Nina Greene's name.
I ordered a CD set before Christmas and received it promptly. I was expecting the same for this order but when I kept calling and got the run-around by people saying that it would be taken care of then a week later it hasn't, or being told I would have to wait 30 days before they sent a replacement when it should only take 2-3 days to get to me even by Media Mail, seemed a bit ridiculous.
Maybe the next order will prove more successful?
I still don't see why they use media mail rather than UPS ground when it is actually cheaper when you have a contract deal. I know at my work we get 43% off the street price for UPS with our contract.
