AFFIDAVIT


STATE OF [YOUR STATE]
COUNTY/ PARISH OF [YOUR COUNTY/ PARISH]

	Having been duly sworn, and upon my oath, I hereby state that my name is [name].  I was born [date] and currently reside at [address], [city], [state] [zip]. 

	I am a member of the settlement class in the case styled In Re Sony BMG CD Technologies Litigation, Cause Number 1:05-cv-09575-NRB currently pending in the District Court for the Southern District of New York.  I have not been excluded from the class.  

	I purchased [NAME OF CD or CDs], which [was|were] infected with [XCP or MediaMax or both XCP and MediaMax] on or before the effective date of the settlement. [Optional: Attached hereto as Exhibit “A” is a photocopy of the front and back of the packaging of [NAME OF CD] {Make a copy and include it}]

	[If you were damaged by the use of the CD or CDs, explain that here, in detail]

	[Discuss whether, in your opinion, the “settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate to Settlement Class members” {If you have supporting documentation, such as a receipt or copy of an email, reference it as sequentially-lettered exhibits (e.g., Exhibit “B”, make a copy of it, and attach it.  There is no limit to the number of exhibits you may include.}]

	[Discuss whether, in your opinion, the “application of Class Counsel … for an award of attorney’s fees and/or reimbursement of expense should or should not be granted”.  NOTE:  The settlement agreement does not set out what those fees will be, nor has any court document set those fees.  There are some who complain that without knowing what fees will be paid, it is not possible to make an educated decision about whether the settlement is fair. {If you have supporting documentation, such as a receipt or copy of an email, reference it as sequentially-lettered exhibits (e.g., Exhibit “C”, make a copy of it, and attach it.  There is no limit to the number of exhibits you may include.}]

	[Discuss whether, in your opinion, “the proposed settlement should or should not be approved by the Court”. {If you have supporting documentation, such as a receipt or copy of an email, reference it as sequentially-lettered exhibits (e.g., Exhibit “D”, make a copy of it, and attach it.  There is no limit to the number of exhibits you may include.}]

	Accordingly, I encourage this Court to [accept|not accept] the proposed settlement.
