If there are five members of the class who wish to challenge this settlement on the grounds that (1) this class action never should have been brought; (2) that the class attorneys do not represent the best interests of the class because their primary interest is in obtaining extortionate attorney fees; and (3) settlement is not in the best interest of the class, because class members will lose money from the likelihood of future extortionate class action litigation encouraged by profitable results in this case, I will be happy to challenge the settlement on those grounds, with any attorney fees and expenses to be awarded by the court.

And his PS points to something even worse: the entire supposed cause is STANDARD PRACTICE. That is, th number of bytes in a GB is not standardized anywhere, and 80 “GB” hard drives from EVERY company will be a lot closer to 80,000,000,000 bytes than 85,899,345,920 bytes. This has been industry standard for over 20 years, yet it wasn’t worth the cost of defending, much less the possibility of finding a jury too stupid to make a rational choice.

The more I know about a case, the more wrong I find it to be. To put it another way, I begin to wonder if cases I don’t see anything wrong with are just areas where my technical knowledge is lacking.
