NSI would not. But the crack legal team put together to pursue the class
action will take a hefty sum. Leaving you with pretty much nothing.

Remember the class action against intel over the pentium bug?  Lawyers took
home ~4 million. Pentium users got $2.00 each, if they registed with the
lawyers.  Ironically, before the suit was even filed, Intel had given a new
pentium replacement, free to anyone who asked.
