I really should take all of them to small claims for the time and energy needed to block them.

I have to wonder if there is a way to do that. Basically we all inconvenience them to death.

The way I see it they’re not gonna waste the time and money to fight a $1,000 claim and articles like this would convince a local judge that I can’t just opt out.

And since the other side didn’t bother to show up I’d win by default.

Any not-your-lawyer types out there wanna make some good trouble by confirming this?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I have a lawyer but I feel like me coming to her with this would be like those folks who said we’d both be billionaires if I built a Facebook app for free.

It’s not about the money. It’s about making this illegal bullshit inconvenient for wealthy criminals

A thousand bucks here or there won’t make a difference to them.

Then some judge would try to force a class action lawsuit.
