According to the Wal-Mart Netflix DVD monopoly class action lawsuit, the pact was culminated on May 19, 2005 when the companies announced Wal-Mart.com would stop renting DVDs online and Netflix would not offer them for resale. The agreement was made after Blockbuster began offering DVD rentals online, and is believed to have been established to push Blockbuster out of the market. The result, however, is that Netflix customers paid higher subscription prices because of the alleged pact, according to the class action lawsuit. More information about the alleged pact can be found at www.OnlineDVDClass.com.
Wal-Mart denied any such pact was made, but agreed in January 2011 to settle its portion of the online DVD monopoly class action lawsuit. Netflix also denied the pact, but refused to offer a settlement. A federal judge dismissed the case against Netflix in November 2011, ruling there was not enough evidence to prove Netflix had conspired with Wal-Mart to fix the online DVD market.
Class Members of the Wal-Mart online DVD class action settlement include any person or entity living in the United States or Puerto Rico that paid a subscription fee to rent DVDs online from Netflix any time from May 19, 2005 to September 2, 2011.

Shoppers could collect up to $500 as part of the settlement filed in a Florida court, claiming the retailer overcharged customers for "weighted goods," such as packaged meat and poultry, seafood and "bagged citrus" like oranges, grapefruit and tangerines.
According to the lawsuit, the prices marked on the weighted and bagged goods were higher than the price-per-unit of the actual items, causing shoppers to pay more than the "lowest in-store advertised price" for those goods.
According to the settlement administrator, anyone who made an in-person purchase of weighted goods or bagged citrus at any Walmart store between Oct. 19, 2018 and Jan. 19, 2024 is eligible to file a claim.
For those without proof of purchase, the following payment tiers were provided, though the settlement administrator stresses that the following dollar amounts are not guaranteed and could increase or decrease based on the number of people who submit a valid claim:
For those who attest to having proof of purchase, the amount could be higher. According to the administrator, those shoppers "may receive" 2% of the total amount paid for the products, capped at $500.
Walmart could owe you up to $500 as part of a class-action lawsuit settlement. If you purchased weighted groceries or bagged fruits between October 2018 and January 2024, you could be eligible to receive a settlement check. The settlement claims that Walmart overcharged for packaged meat, poultry, pork, and seafood, and bagged citrus.
According to the settlement website, those who bought an eligible product and have a receipt are entitled to get 2% of the total cost of their purchase, capped at $500. Walmart customers without a receipt for their purchase during the designated time period can still submit a claim for between $10 and $25, depending on how much they attest to buying.
Customers will receive payment electronically through Venmo, Zelle, ACH, or a virtual pre-paid MasterCard, according to the settlement website. Those who prefer a paper check or are unable to receive electronic payment can request one on the website.
Furthermore, customers have until June 5 to submit a claim to participate in the settlement, which still needs to receive final approval at a hearing scheduled for June 12. Those who want to be excluded from the settlement have until May 22 to opt-out.
Federal court records indicate that Muller restrained them with zip ties, blindfolds and headphones, then drugged them both. Muller left Quinn behind in the home with a warning that he was being watched on camera and told him not to call the police.
Huskins and Quinn subsequently filed a defamation of character lawsuit against the police department. Police later apologized to the couple who, in 2018, reached a $2.5 million settlement with the City of Vallejo and its police department.
Huskins was forced to hire an attorney to defend herself and many in the public believed that she had indeed faked her abduction. Things took a bizarre twist when the alleged abductors appeared to feel guilty over her treatment and began emailing The San Francisco Chronicle about it.
The show had audiences enthralled with the story of a man who went by the name Simon Leviev and pretended to be the wealthy heir of a jewelry fortune as he scammed women he met on the dating app Tinder.
A report from The Hollywood Reporter said that among the witnesses who could be called in the case are NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, team owners Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft as well as executives from various television networks and DirecTV, which had held the exclusive Sunday Ticket package until it lost it to Google-owned YouTube TV at the start of last season, at a reported cost of $2 billion a year. YouTube charges fans $449 a year for the package.
Some people speculate that the NFL will settle. The league had a $790 million settlement that ended a lawsuit by plaintiffs in St. Louis who objected to the relocation of the Rams to Los Angeles in 2016 and a $765 million settlement reached in 2013 that set up a fund to compensate players who suffered brain injuries from concussions during playing days.

(Washington, DC) -- A group of Senate Republicans is warning they won't vote to raise the debt ceiling unless it's accompanied by spending cuts. Nearly half of the Senate Republican Conference signed on to a letter to President Biden vowing to vote against increasing the debt limit if it doesn't include cuts in federal spending or "structural reform in spending." The letter wasn't signed by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. Democrats and the White House want to raise the borrowing limit quickly with no strings attached. Biden is set to meet with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy this week to discuss debt limit negotiations. After the U.S. hit its borrowing limit earlier this month, lawmakers have until June to come together on a package to increase the debt ceiling.

>>McCarthy Shoots Down Push For Entitlement Cuts (Washington, DC) -- House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is shooting down claims that Republicans will cut entitlements in their negotiations over raising the debt ceiling. In a recent interview on Donald Trump Jr's podcast, McCarthy said Republicans won't touch Medicare or Social Security. The Speaker said earlier this week he wants to trim government spending unrelated to entitlement programs. In their new majority, House Republicans are demanding spending cuts as a price for lifting the debt ceiling and averting a default. Democrats have called on them to raise the debt limit without conditions.
