Yeah... but large lawyer companies are more than willing to fight on the behalf of consumers doing class action lawsuits for the little guy. On the behalf of you and me.
As in, they be-having all the rewards after lawyer fees get paid on the win.
For reference, don't forget to get your $9 if you are a PS3 owner. (the situations aren't the same... but it is an example of "That's not worth it for 'individuals' to sue... but big company gets sued and loses anyways)

- pdimitar 10y agoIt's good to hear there are organizations fighting these good fights. ^_^ Which countries do they operate in?
- wernercd 10y agoI assume they are everywhere, but this is just "standard operating procedure" in the US. Look up anything that happens to a group of people - PS3 features being removed, salmonella in food, Microsoft forcing updates on Windows 10, Samsung batteries exploding, etc. Look for anything that's affected a lot of people... and then watch as a lawyer or group of lawyers kicks up a class action lawsuit. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/open-lawsuit-settlements/ https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/open-lawsuit...
