IANAL but it sure seems by not fighting these early individual smaller cases the spammers are setting themselves up for a huge class action case in the future by establishing precedence. Any lawyers here? How do no contest rulings in small claims apply to setting precedence? It looks like a fair amount of the time he's settling out of court -- I also wonder if any of the companies settling have deep enough pockets to be worth organizing a large class?
