Since it wasn't disclosed on the packaging the sap that didn't like it is entitled to $5000 according to the lawsuit filing located here... everyone else that purchased an "HDD MP3 Player" gets a discount from their next purchase from Creative Labs."

They should be entitled to a few bucks of rebate in the form of a check.
