Netflix Settlement on Hold
A proposed class-action settlement involving Netflix customers may be rewritten in response to complaints that the agreement does little for consumers while rewarding the company and the lawyers who filed the suit. A hearing over the $4 million settlement that had been scheduled in California Superior Court on Tuesday was postponed for a month while both sides review more than 50 objections to the proposed settlement.
Here's the full story and a link to my earlier item on one of the objections.

I signed up when I originally got the notice - what the heck, I like free stuff - but I thought at the time that it was pretty stinky that people had to remember to cancel their free upgrade or be charged for it at the next month.

I was planning on signing up for my free month of Netflix due to me as a former customer, but now I'm not sure what to do. As I recall, the deadline was sometime in February. Will this be resolved by then? Should I wait? If I didn't "object," is there any chance I'll get more than the original terms?
