This is ridiculous. So two lawyers are getting paid 2.125 million dollars (25% of the $8.5M settlement) for suing Google on my behalf over something I don't mind? I never signed up to make a couple of guys millionaires from a complaint about a free service.
Is there a way to protest this kind of absurd class action suit and reduce the payout?
- Udo 16y agoYes, but just to make sure everybody understands it's only the lawyers (and dubious privacy organizations) who get paid, they sent out an email to every Google Mail user stating (quote): "Just to be clear, this is not a settlement in which people who use Gmail can file to receive compensation. Everyone in the U.S. who uses Gmail is included in the settlement, unless you personally decide to opt out before December 6, 2010. The Court will consider final approval of the agreement on January 31, 2011."
