I received a letter from Pioneer yesterday that concerns litigation in California where the plantiff alledged that Pioneer DVD players are not compatible with the DVD video standard. Therefore, Pioneer players cannot play all DVD video discs.
As part of the court order, this letter is sent out to all Pioneer DVD player owners who had contacted Pioneer customer service in the past with complaints. The letter asks if the Pioneer owner wants to disclose Pioneer DVD player owner's contact information to the Plantiff's counsel. But Pioneer says they discarded all names, address and contact info, so the letter asks if the owner is willing to disclose the information.
I guess Pioneer was nice enough to exercise privacy rights of it's customers. I suppose if an owenr were to release the contact info, it means the Plantiff's councel will contact owners for gathering evidence or other info for their arguments against Pioneer.
Anyone recieve this letter? I'm inclined to let it go, seems frivilous. Any thoughts? Apologies for the long winded explaination.
Thanks, Nelson
