There are too many class action suits[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#12)
by Anonymous User on Tue Jul 17, 2007 at 07:23:57 PM PDT

Class action suits are bs. The lawyers get a huge payday and the customers who were ripped off get coupons for products they don't want to buy. They need to pass a law where the lawyers get paid the same way as the members of the class - if the customers get coupons, then the lawyers get coupons. If the lawyers want cash, the customers have to get cash too.

Class action suits don't help the members of the class.  Those coupons are almost completely worthless.  However they punish the companies and they hurt the companies where it counts, in their wallets.  For that reason they are worthwhile and companies will work hard to avoid a legitimate class action lawsuit.

They don't hurt the companies much[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#17)

How does giving out a bunch of coupons that customers aren't going to use hurt a company?

Perhaps by giving customers one more reason to boycott the company? :P

P.S. what's with the subtle colors in the captcha now? Since it's still plain text it's obviously not to confound OCR software...

P.P.S. when will the default be changed to Auto Format again? And when will it be nailed in that setting and never fiddled with again?

They cost money[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#26)

Those class action lawsuits cost a lot of money.  The attorney's fees are huge.  The payroll to find the customers, mail them the coupons, verify that the customers are legitimate, the bad publicity, and the cash payment to the attorneys who successfully file the class action lawsuits all add up.

They're not perfect, but they do cost companies money, even when the companies win them.
