The only people who benefit are the lawyers.

My special savings account where I deposit the settlement checks from the various tech companies that have violated my privacy or other rights disagrees.

Sometimes it's 43¢. Sometimes it's $400.

In the last three years, I've put… checking… $5,351.83 in that account because tech companies think laws and morals don't apply to them.

Saying that these lawsuits only benefit lawyers is both false and yet another lazy tech bubble cliche.

Yes, the lawyers get way more than I do. They also did 99% the work, so I don't hold it against them.

Just read the newspaper. Every time you see an article about one of these suits, check it out to see if it applies to you.

Hey at least you get to pocket all of that. Here in Europe the government keeps the money and then distributes it to the scum of the Earth. I'd rather give the money to lawyers, at least they did _something_.
