    I don't get hardly any mail from them, either. It's several times a day "updating" me on my contacts, even after I have unsubscribed several times.

    You could only get money if you managed to get your address book stolen and all your contacts spammed. $10 is very little consolation for hundreds of people you know now thinking that you are, ehrm, not smart, for giving your address book to LinkedIn, or worse, thinking you're a spammer because each of your contacts got three annoying e-mails "from you" with no opt-out button. If they had to pay even one dollar to each person they spammed, they'd probably be bankrupt.
