RE: Mofi settlement

I don't claim to be any kind of authority but the plaintiffs were named. And there were actually multiple class action lawsuits. All plaintiffs had council and were not lawyers themselves.

This is from one of those class action suits filed on behalf of Adam Stiles.
"Plaintiff Adam Stiles is a resident of Charlotte, North Carolina and has an intent to
remain there, and is therefore a citizen of North Carolina. Mr. Stiles has purchased various records
from MoFi over the years. Most recently, in or about February 2022, Mr. Stiles purchased The
Pretenders' self-titled debut album for approximately $40, directly from MoFi via MoFi's website
while Mr. Stiles was in North Carolina. Prior to and at the time of purchase, Mr. Stiles reviewed
the representations on MoFi's website regarding the Record, including that the Record was an
"original master recording," as well as representations on the Record itself that the Record was
made using the "Gain 2 Ultra Analog System," which "only utilize[s] first generation original
master recordings as source material," and that "any sonic artifacts present are a product of the
original master tape." Nowhere on either the website or on the Record itself was there a
representation that digital mastering or DSD was used as part of the recording or mastering process.
Mr. Stiles relied on these representations and omissions in deciding to purchase the Record.
Accordingly, these representations and omissions formed the basis of the bargain in that, had Mr.
Stiles been aware that the Record used digital remastering or DSD technology, he would not have
purchased the Record, or would have paid significantly less for it. In or about July 2022, Mr. Stiles
discovered that his Record used DSD technology as part of the mastering chain."

What do you think? Am I getting it wrong?
