Are Recording Companies Dumping CDs As Part Of Antitrust Settlement?

Major US recording companies lost an antitrust case and were told to give millions of CD’s to libraries as part of the $143 million settlement. But it appears that the CD’s being offered are overstocked recordings the companies couldn’t sell anyway. “The impression one gets from the list is that the record companies are just unloading overstock. It appears many libraries will receive too many copies of some titles and others they don’t want at all.”
