Stephanie Eick. Sha on Derrick. They may not be household names but these girls and their families represent the heart of what it mea to be litigious in the age of iPod co umerism. You know the story, don't you? Last June, both girls were eighth grade middle-schoolers. Sha on lent Stephanie her iPod. Stephanie says she returned it to Sha on's purse but Sha on said Stephanie left it out on her desk. The iPod went mi ing and lawsuits e ued. Sha on's family sued Stephanie's family. And then Stephanie's family counter-sued. And then they were going to go on Judge Judy. And then they backed out. And then...Well, now they've settled. Yesterday, Stephanie handed over her personal white 30G video iPod to Sha on, which she received as a present last Christmas. According to the Naperville Sun, Sha on's mother Melanie McCarthy co idered the used video iPod "an i ult". A arently the back and screen were scratched and worn compared to Sha on's new Nano. The iPod will be sold on eBay (search for Derrick iPod -- the listing should go live over the next few days) and the proceeds will go to a junior CrimeSto ers program.
Both girls are reportedly hoping for new iPods for Christmas.
