      I, for one, am looking forward to the $.0036 Check in the mail. While some lawyer pockets $97 Billion. Any day now…

        I’m sure it’ll be a voucher just like the last lawsuit against a ticketing company. I’d like to say it was LiveNation but I honestly can’t remember. I remember looking at the concerts I could go to with the voucher and they were all shit.

        But that was the point, wasn’t it. Give up potential profit that they were in fact never going to get in the first place.

          Oh like how in Canada the Lawblaws corporation and other grocers were caught colluding over bread prices for nearly 20 years, and their punishment? Everyone who got into the class action (you had to sign up) ya got a whopping $25 to use at their store…

            Worst part to me is that the majority of people either never used the entirety of the $25 credit, saving Loblaw’s money. Or, they spent more than $25 while shopping and injected more money into the business.

            The percentage of people who went through the effort of spending exactly $25 is probably extremely low.

        Antirust is very different than Class Action (were you’d get a 36cent check). This would be the FTC filing charges, which has much more power.
