Because it will only cost them "billions" if someone can come forward to the court and claim "billions" in damages. Good luck with that, when your product is a USB drive with flashy labeling.
Will you be the first to take them to court, to recover the damages from you being deceived for this dopey drive? The judge may actually award you double damages and order them to pay you $200!!!!
lololololololololololol!!!!!!
I lost all my bitcoin in a tragic USB accident.
That’s what class actions are for…
I got a grand from a class action lawsuit, couldn't believe it
Smaller classes mean more money for those actually affected. The millions in settlements getting split between millions of people isn't much, but across just a hundred thousand... Some actual restitution.
I've had a couple show up in my mailboxes over the years, usually in the form of checks for less than a dollar.
