$1.9M is a sucky amount of overhead, but it doesn't seem like the class should be entitled to much more than it got. If there's no evidence that anything except email addresses were stolen, and the breach was accidental, then I don't see much in the way of damages or culpability here. My email address has probably been harvested 100 times over. CRM114 takes care of it. And getting a $20,000 donation to Project Honeypot is pretty sweet (pun intended).
