Class action lawsuits suck!
I just got an email that I was part of a class suing Shutterfly, and the settlement was $5. Not even cash, but (as is typical) a voucher to use to buy further products from the same offender, Shutterfly.
And the heroic lawyers who corrected whatever injustice was inflicted on victims like me?
They got $2.4 million. It's the tail wagging the dog - attorney's fees should be capped at some multiplier of the median payment.
