MGM's DVD Class Action Settlement

all of MGM's 'theatrical wide screen' DVD releases for the last few
years have been the pan-scanned versions with the top and bottoms cut
off. 
 If you own any of the eligible movies, you have until March 31 to
either opt to exchange your copy for $7.10, or a new DVD from MGM,
presumably in its proper aspect ratio.
