When a magazine shuts down unexpectedly, doesn't it have a duty to refund subscribers' monies? That shit happened to me a few months back when I subscribed to Blender magazine and I had to find out while doing research online that they went bankrupt and were no longer printing any more issues.
Well, a Vibe magazine subscriber is about to get all Norma Ray on a bitch!
Alabama resident Kenneth Rogers said he purchased a one year subscription three months before the magazine's closure last month and he filed a class action lawsuit yesterday against the magazine and its owners for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and for violating New York State's deceptive practices statute. He's demanding Vibe refund unused portions of subscribers' monies.
“As the magazine was quietly closing up the shop, the Vibe website continued to contain links to advertisements enticing customers to purchase subscriptions to the magazine,” the lawsuit says, naming Vibe Media Group as a defendant along with unnamed people associated with the magazine. Vibe should have “publicly disclosed to subscribers that it was teetering on the brink of insolvency."
According to the suit, a one-year subscription cost between $9.95 and $14.95, and Vibe had more than 800,000 subscribers.
Go get you money! These companies can't keep everyone's money if they're not going to give us out monies worth. Also, you can tell that VIBE ran out of money since their last issue has corny ass couple Christina Milian and The Dream who on this cover look more like a nightmare! Also if I was Janet I'd beat a bitches ass for jacking my Rolling Stone cover 12 years ago.
