"Victims of the fraud"?

Buyer beware. Just because Apple refuses to honor the stolen iTunes card you bought below market value does not mean you are a victim. It is no different than if you bought a stolen stereo.

is that the card in question were purchased ONE MONTH after the price change. These cards were printed and distributed months in advance, and the copy on them at the time was correct. Should Apple have contacted all the retailers that carry Apple gift cards and tell them they need to return all the card so they could be destroyed and re-printed? Somehow, I doubt that Walmart or Target would have said "By George, you're right! Quickly now, let's get a gang of poorly paid laborers to comb the aisles of every retail storefront we own and have them remove these cards, so that we might return them to Apple!"

When they were printed is of no concern, nor is the fact that the information on them was once correct. They were incorrect at the time of purchase, which is the point.

Now, if Apple had issued a pull order for the cards from their retailers, and the retailers didn't do it, then it would be Wal-Mart's fault, say, not Apple.

Then again, we're talking about people who are suing "for refunds equivalent to the difference between the new maximum song price ($1.29) and the previous standard."

So, basically, they want $4.50 that they were 'cheated' out of. I would think they've already wasted that much just talking to the lawyer.

"Additional relief" is also being sought, where possible.

Oh, so they want more money? Because they really, really, really, really believed they were going to get 15 songs off the card, and then felt so cheated when they only got 10 songs out of it...

Oh, and there are other songs that are less than 99 cents. I wonder how emotionally distressed they were to find out that they'd have to find more than 15 songs to purchase to use their amount...

3 words:

SUCK

IT

UP!!!

This is what the cards say

iTunes Gift Card

Give music, video and more.
Download $15.00 worth of entertainment to enjoy on your Mac or Windows PC. And, of course your iPod.

Songs are 99C and videos start at $1.99

This card has no value until activated at the register.

Ok so lets be clear, it states download $15.00 worth of Entertainment, not 15 f****** songs. These people are idiots looking for cash. I hope they lose lots of money in this attempt.

a "common sense clerk" at each civil court building in the US that has the power to deny plaintiffs outright so that this kind of stupidity doesn't even come before the court. The plaintiffs/attorneys that are denied should be fined heavily and barred from any further suits for a period of time. Of course they could appeal to a higher court who, if this level upheld the common sense clerk's ruling there should be stiffer fines and suspensions. That would stop this foolishness.

Really...these idiotic nonsensical cases contribute to the ever increasing cost of the goods you and I buy every day.

If you bought a $20 Visa gift card today expecting to buy 8 gallons of gas at $2.50 per and were only able to buy 4 gallons (because some exec in the petroleum industry needed to fund his daughters $2mil wedding and called up his buddies on the other boards to jack the price up to $5/gal) should you actually be able to sue Visa/the retailer that sold you the card/the oil company??? Stop the madness!!!

Alabama gets 9% tax on each song. Damn Apple, how can you let Alabama get that extra credit off my gift card. I'm losing songs big time!!

Just opportunists trying to shag a buck on a legal non-issue. People can be pretty despicable.

And songs are 99¢. They now just happen to be 79¢ and $1.29 as well.

If the $20 Visa gift card said "Pay $20. Gas is $2.50. Go start buying some $2.50 gas", then you bet your a** you'd be suing. That's why gift card makers aren't stupid enough to put the prices of their goods on them (oh, except Apple).
