I'm not convinced that's actually true, however, even if you ignore the =
idea of a class-action,
the more effective approach is a vast fleet of small-claims cases. =
Corporations are generally
much better prepared and resourced to deal with mediation and/or =
class-actions. An
influx of a huge number of small-claims actions in courts all over the =
place, OTOH, costs
very little resources on the plaintiff side while having a much larger =
impact on the
corporation, even if the corporation prevails in every case.
