Class Action Lawsuit against Seagate[->] 2007-10-22 15:21 updog
updog writes "Today I received an email entitled "Notice of Seagate Hard Drive Class Action and Proposed Settlement". The email describes that "the plaintiff alleges that in the sale and marketing of hard disc drives, Seagate stated that purchasers of the drives would receive approximately 7% more usable storage capacity than they actually received." The details of the lawsuit can be found here.
While wild marketing claims need to be kept in check, so do frivolous lawsuits. The fact that the lawyers (who will receive up to $1.792 Million) profit far more than any individual who may have been mislead (who get 5% of the net cost of the hard drive) really disturbs me.
What would you do — exclude yourself from the settlement, object it, or submit a claim?"
