A major stumbling block might be (IANAL), what viable cases are there?
* The software company won't have nearly enough money to be a viable defendant.
* Each victim won't have lost enough to sue by themself, unless the violation allows a large multiple of damages. Their harm is (guessing) 15% of rent or a year. Even a $2.5K/month apartment doesn't add up to enough to pay a lawyer.
Can a class action combine such a wide variety of plaintiffs and wide variety of defendants? Could it be nationwide or state by state?
- nerdponx 3y ago> The software company won't have nearly enough money to be a viable defendant. Corporate death penalty seems warranted, both to end the behavior and to send a stern warning to anyone else who might try it again. Victims (read: millions of renters) will never be made whole, but at least you stop more people from being victimized.
