Canadian consumers are getting a $20 break.

The refund is the result of historic class-action lawsuits brought against several manufacturers who, between 1999 and 2002, were allegedly colluded to fix the price of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a component used in most electronic devices.

The manufacturers reached an out-of-court settlement to the tune of $80 million.

Anyone who bought a computer, printer, personal digital assistant, MP3 player or video game console in that period can collect $20 by filling out a form on themoneyismine.ca. No receipt or proof of purchase is required.

The lawsuits were led by four law firms: Belleau Lapointe, Camp Fiorante Matthews Mogerman, Harrison Pensa, and Sutts Strosberg.

"It's a great outcome for Canadian consumers," said J.J. Camp of Camp Fiorante Matthews Mogerman. "We've made it easy for them to get their money back. I also think it's an opportunity for all Canadians to show that they want healthy competition between consumer product companies."
