it is interesting how you are always on the "other side" of this issue.
Or more likely they settled because they knew they weren't going to win.
If there are tons of cases please provide them. I would love to see the tons of people who did nothing wrong but had to cough millions because the FTC got a wild hair up their ass to go after them... for no reason ofcourse.
