And who can forget the Blockbuster class-action suit? Coupons for $1 off a rental? The lawyers made millions in legal fees.

I have to agree. In the end, class action suits only hurt both the company and the end user. Received information on another one against Apple many years ago. Forget what it was, but the originator got around $1000 or so, lawyers got millions, and I (along with several thousand others) was offered a whole $1.50. The only winners in these suits are the lawyers, always.

I received the full settlement report from the lawyers. As a mac supporter, I threw the hole thing in the trash. Class action suits benefit the law offices that file more than the actually participants since they get there cut from the over-all settlement amount, or their high fees are paid on top of the settlement. These law offices regularly seek ways to design a class action and then lobby for participants.
