    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.

            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
