SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Netflix Inc. told a judge on Wednesday that it has changed a class-action settlement so 6 million consumers eligible for free DVDs from the online rental service won't be charged automatically after the one-month offer expires.
The company indicated last week that it was mulling the revision, but didn't confirm the change until its attorneys appeared Wednesday before San Francisco Superior Court Judge Thomas Mellon Jr.
The concession responds to objections filed by the Federal Trade Commission and more than 400 current and former customers — all of whom argued that the original settlement smacked of a promotional gimmick designed to enrich Netflix.
