iPod owners notified of RealNetworks lawsuit\'s class action status, given chance to profit

Remember RealNetworks' 2005 lawsuit over Apple's effort to maintain Harmony DRM off of the iPod, calling the countermeasures an abuse that locked customers into Apple's FairPlay copy protection and the iTunes Store? You're forgiven in the event you don't -- the complaint was filed in 2005. In spite of iTunes having gone primarily DRM-free over three years ago, though, owners of iPods bought between September 12th, 2006 and March 31st, 2009 are only now getting notices that they qualify for a slice of any damages in the event that they register and Rhapsody's former owner wins in court. Obviously, there isn't any be sure that RealNetworks will win and get you music money to feed your iPod, iPod classic, iPod nano or iPod touch, but unless you're planning to sue Apple yourself, there isn't any penalty for a valid claim.
