I think $1000 is a lowball estimate for the per-person damage done by this breach. At $1000/head, they would be looking at $137B of liability with a market cap of $17B. Good. How hard is it to opt-out of whatever class action settlement is offered, and take this to small claims court? Anyone want to setup a website to automate the paperwork? I'd love to see a not-for-profit do this moving forward when things like this happen.

I would love to see something like this happen as well. I'd be happy to setup the website, but we'd need a lawyer to help with the forms.

I would be happy to help out as well. I am not a lawyer, but I just filed in GA small claims court today. Contact info in profile.
