What Is the Case About?
Penske Media allegedly breached lifetime subscription contracts by switching print subscribers to digital-only editions instead of continuing printed magazine delivery. The settlement restores print delivery and adds digital access, and PMC denies any wrongdoing and is settling without admitting fault.
Who Qualifies?
All U.S.-resident subscribers who previously purchased a “lifetime” subscription to Rolling Stone magazine (not other Penske titles). Subscriptions bought from the 1970s through today likely qualify; employees, officers, judges, and non-U.S. residents are excluded.
How Much Can You Get?
The benefits stack rather than substitute: restored print magazine delivery for life (while PMC publishes it) plus two years of free RollingStone.com digital access. There is no cash payment.
How to File
