Class Action Suit Goodies Await Tech Users

Posted by timothy on from the didja-save-those-receipts? dept.

jfruh writes "Did you buy an Acer laptop with Vista and less than 1 GB of RAM? The company has a thumb drive it would like to send you. Did you get an unwanted text from Papa John's? The company would like to make it up with you with $50 worth of free pizza. These and other little rewards are available as a result of class action lawsuits that have wound their ways through the court systems and now, years later, are paying off for very large groups of tech users." I wonder how many USB drives the lawyers took as their share.

    Off-topic, I know, but this one is boring. (Everyone already knows class action suits screw consumers.)
