Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
In November 2012, a federal judge preliminarily approved the $9.9 million that Lucky Brand Dungarees, Inc. and its marketing subcontractors are agreeing to pay to settle a class-action lawsuit. The suit claimed that they sent unsolicited text spam as part of a 2008 back-to-school promotion. The lawsuit was originally filed in 2010 on behalf of consumers who received the Lucky Brand text spam between August 24 and September 15, 2008. Those consumers will receive up to $100 under the settlement. (Robles v. Lucky Brand Dungarees, Inc., Case No. 10-cv-4846).
