Penske Media Subscription Settlement
Court case: Moss Krivin v. Penske Media Corporation
If you bought a "lifetime" subscription to Rolling Stone Magazine in the early 2000s and Penske Media Corporation (PMC) switched you to a digital-only "e-Edition" around May 2024, you may qualify for this settlement (Moss Krivin v. Penske Media Corporation, Case No. 2:25-cv-05803, Central District of California). About 15,450 class members can request resumed print delivery for their lifetime and two years of free RollingStone.com access, worth about $95.88 per year. There is no cash payment, and contacting PMC by email, phone, or online portal is all it takes.
