Sony BMG has settled the Canadian class-action lawsuit brought against it for deliberately deploying music CDs infected with rootkits and spyware as part of a misbegotten anti-copying scheme.
The settlement, which must still be approved by a Canadian court, features similar terms to those found in the U.S., including the right to cash compensation or music downloads. The settlement site features a full list of the affected CDs including Canadian artists such as Sloan, Our Lady Peace, and a Canadian Idol compilation.
