Too late they reduced the amount probably due to demand.

Bought Electronics In Canada From ?99 To '02? You Have $20 (Or More) Coming

Quote:

Just about anyone who bought electronics in Canada between 1999 and 2002 can file for a minimum $20 rebate, thanks to the settlement of numerous class-action lawsuits involving the price-fixing of electronics.

The lawsuits stemmed from allegations that, between 1999 and 2002, manufacturers of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) had colluded to fix prices, driving up the costs of many electronic items to consumers. Some of the manufacturers pleaded guilty in the U.S. or Europe to price-fixing charges.

Among the companies involved were major electronics players including Hitachi, Hynix, Samsung and Toshiba.

Electronics that contain DRAM include desktop and latptop computers, mp3 players, DVD players, printers and numerous other items (see list below).

Anyone who purchased a product with DRAM can file a claim for a minimum $20 reimbursement at TheMoneyIsMine.ca, a website set up by four law firms representing Canadian consumers in the lawsuits.

tldr; go toTheMoneyIsMine.ca and file a claim for a minimum $20 reimbursement

Don't forget to tip on the original amount - that's the right thing to do. Also, donate something to the cause.

Unless, of course, your meal is too cold. In which case you just get up and leave without paying anything........... but only after you finish the pancakes, hee hee, hue hue, pew pew.

Wow, that's... odd. Seems weird that BCAA wants to compete in this market, especially when Car2Go is so established already...

Windows 10 Upgrade Free to Pirated Windows Users - IGN

Windows 10 will be free for software pirates | The Verge

Spoiler!

Quote:

Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users this summer, but Microsoft is also extending its offer to software pirates. "We are upgrading all qualified PCs, genuine and non-genuine, to Windows 10," says Terry Myerson, Microsoft’s Windows chief, in an interview with Reuters. The move means that thousands, perhaps millions, of machines will get a free copy of Windows 10 even if a license has not been properly acquired. "Anyone with a qualified device can upgrade to Windows 10, including those with pirated copies of Windows," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. "We believe customers over time will realize the value of properly licensing Windows and we will make it easy for them to move to legitimate copies."

Microsoft has a long history of attempts to thwart software piracy. Windows XP was the company's first operating system to introduce software activation to verify license keys, but it was quickly defeated using a corporate license key that many pirates shared on the internet back in 2001. Software activation has evolved throughout various versions of Windows, but pirates have largely managed to bypass it each time. While Microsoft's plan might seem like letting software pirates go free, studies have found that in a lot of cases pirated Windows licenses are installed on new machines without customers even knowing they have an illegal copy. Microsoft has tried various methods to encourage those customers to return their machines or seek out a legal copy, but it’s headache and a bad experience of Windows itself if that’s the first thing you have to deal with in certain regions.

Windows software piracy is no small feat, so Microsoft’s move is surprising and meaningful. Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer revealed in 2011 that only one customer in every 10 is actually paying for Microsoft software in China, and he joined President Obama and other business leaders to highlight the issues. Microsoft has also continually highlighted the financial impact of software piracy, but it continues to be a problem in Brazil, Russia, India, and China.

Looks like the new guy took a page right out Bill Gates marketing book - give everyone and their dog a free copy of windows 10 to gain popularity and once saturated, charge them. In 2015 words - freemium

^Supposedly it will be "temporary" - kind of like the Trial thing they have going.

After a set period of time, buy license, or be locked out.

Microsoft reportedly states that pirates will not be able to upgrade to genuine Windows 10
