You know, this makes me realize that I’ve lost a lot of my demand letter mojo over the last few years. I used to be able to make them (and complaints) sounds like Dashiell Hammett novels. I think I’ll withhold this tonight and revise tomorrow for shorter sentences and more scary citations.

As long as you personally suffered some monetary harm, you should have standing to bring a 17200 claim (before Prop 64 you didn’t even need that; damned defense bar!!). The really great part is that the representative suit has less onerous requirements than a formal class action. Have fun!

Grabbing the video was the first thing I did, on the very day that it broke.

I’m trying to figure out 17200 — it’s a really hard statute to parse in order to sort out the right of action for private plaintiffs from the right of action for the a.g., and precisely what’s covered under there.

Also, download the video of the Kindle falling. Save it before they take it down.
