Pure propaganda article.

When a reporter wants to insert his or her own opinion, they simply refer to a random "expert" or "researcher" of said subject. So when you see such wording, just think in your head, "I say."

This is what E&O insurance is for. Insurance company will defend and settle. Class members will get a $5 gift card to Applebee's. And the lawyers will get 1/3 of the settlement in fees, probably a few million bucks.

The first three seasons were amazing. Season four lost my interest after about five episodes. I don't really even know what the plot is in season four. Not sure what happened to the story line.

Careful, "myspace" is trademarked and it's likely you'll need to come up with a name less confusingly similar, if they decide to enforce their mark.

I don't get the new metaverse thing. Is it just Second Life?

No. Once you're in a court, the case stays in court. You can't appeal a trial court decision to an arbitrator.

Generally courts have looked down upon forcing arbitration for cases that are tiny, like small claims cases. Some courts might invalidate an arbitration clause if there is no small claims exception.

The ebay terms of service force an arbitration procedure, however, the exception is if you go to small claims court. Most small-claims courts have an upper limit of something like $2,500, so your claim is under that. Send a certified letter with your details and state that if they do not reverse the chargeback, you will take the case to small claims court in your city. They will spend a lot more just replying to such a case than the value of it.
> You and eBay each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen, or may arise, between you and eBay (or any related third parties) that relate in any way to or arise out of this or previous versions of the User Agreement, your use of or access to our Services, the actions of eBay or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court.
> Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

I was enjoying this essay until it was interrupted by this pseudoscience gibberish.

What is that "short time?"

Is it though?

When the company has legal immunity... well I think you can answer your own question.

You'd be billions of dollars poorer.
