Isn't the solution just making lawyer bots?
> Company bots refuse legally required request.
> Open phone app, click a few buttons.
> Law firm drafts letter of complaint, lawyer skims it for 30 seconds.
> Law firm threatens to sue 100,000+ times across 50 jurisdictions unless company settles all pending cases at 10% premium of expected outcome.
> You receive payment minus $2 for legal expenses.
I actually suspect that automating both sides of that exchange will shift the balance of power in favor of consumers, since companies already have a massive amount of liability they're ignoring because it's difficult to extract payment over. If you could automate that process, especially by filing a distinct case for every contract violation or legal issue they refused to honor, I suspect many companies would collapse.
If lawyer costs fall to the point where you can automate the suits over such business contract violations, I expect you'd have the ability to legal DDoS a bunch of abusive companies into submission.
