Re: Shows small claims court info; not deal with AT&T appealThe motivation is they have a chance to save $850. They'll prevail on appeal in some cases, and lose on others, so overall they will pay less than if they just let the original judgements stand. Unless is goes up to a higher court (at that court's discretion), we're not going to see binding precedent. |

They'll be pushing the binding arbitration clause in the contracts to get it thrown out of court during the appeals.
After that they just have to cite that one verdict to anyone else who tries in small claims court and they save themselves a lot of money, and get to keep the "unlimited" cash cow going strong. |

The contract specifically allows suits in small claims court. |

Yeah more like the lawyers making the appeal are motivated to take a break from sending cease-and-desist letters to people downloading TV shows, and get some extra money for going to court for AT&T. |
