Re: Class action against Netgear - WGT624 hangs /d
It sounds more like a "green mail" lawsuit - where the plaintiff sues the defendant for some large sum, gets headlines and then agrees to settle for some other number.
It ends up being cheaper for the defendant to settle than to pay lawyer fees, lose worktime etc.
I'm just curious, as a question to the original poster, why not sue every router maker / pc builder as they all have had problems from time to time. In fact, based on your premise, why not sue every company alphabetically in the phonebook? | |

Ok.. I'm a bit miffed about this whole deal. Let me get this straight.. something doesn't operate the way *YOU* feel it does... and as such, you are now looking into legal action... welcome to the good ole USA... The place where you can spill hot coffee on your crotch and sue for it.
As someone who has a number of contacts at Netgear, (and who has helped quite a number of people here fix their glitches from time to time) I'm really offended.
I can safely say that 75-90% of all the 'complaints' I've seen are nothing more than misinformed individuals, trying to use a product improperly.
The other thing to keep in mind, is the people here on BBR are the miniority of individuals using the products. For every 1 person here, there are probably 100 that aren't here.
Please don't waste the court system, the taxpayers, and these attorney's time.
