It's small claims court, so anyone else getting fucked by this wont benefit. It's going to take a bigger case. This will be forgotton about in a coupke months and Samsung will keep doing it.

    Not true. If you can cite another similar small claims case against the company, the Judge will take that under consideration as well.

    It's only not beneficial if they settle outside court and have a non disclosure agreement. And that's not going to happen with Rossmann. There is zero doubt in my mind that he would turn down a million dollar payout to keep quiet.

    I also don't expect him to settle. Louis has principles and a DGAF - get it done attitude and an extreme allergy to bullshit. Truly a hero for the people. All he asks is that we participate and speak out on these issues. My next guys poker night (or equivalent) might include a group email writing session. I know several people who I would not have expected to get involved who have written their reps regarding right to repair and other consumer advocacy and freedom issues.

    Unless Rossman shares a template for individually suing them in any state. Maybe they will start to play fair when they are defending 25,000 individual lawsuits.

    You do realize that is exactly what he will do, right? He’s a spiteful little shit. John fucking Deere is terrified of him for a reason.

    I have to wonder, what are the horcruxes of Louis Rossman?

    I admire his level of pettiness. When it comes to pettiness, Louis comes second only to the hungry hustler, OG Afroman. The way he was dropping diss tracks all up and through the trial and had the court of public opinion massively on his side was legendary.
