plaintiffs

If they shut down due to lawsuits, don't debt holders (plaintiffs) get priority access to remaining cash?

One of the plaintiffs is Dennis Reynolds.

All the gay parents out there (including April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse two of the plaintiffs in this case) beg to differ.

Normally the plaintiffs see very little of the cash if they were to win, it's normally the lawyers that make out like bandits in those cases so it wouldn't be worth it.

My favorite: D, 4.12: Class counsel have never received any payment for prosecuting this case on behalf of representative Plaintiffs and Members of the Class, nor have they been reimbursed for their out-of-pocket-expenses.

Not only is it not that (it is literally the federal private cause of action specifically intended for enforcing terms of service), but it's more limited than other civil causes of action: plaintiffs can sue only for certain types of damages.

> even if the work had been published in 1922 with proper notice, and even if that copyright had been renewed in 1949 (which the plaintiffs say it wasn't), the song still would have become public domain at midnight on December 31, 1997.

The plaintiffs seem to argue that Fusion Garage is only alive because of the good will invested by Arrington/Crunchpad and would have died otherwise; I presume the defendant's argument will be that this was never the case, that FG had entered into the project in a spirit of partnership rather than supplication, and that any monies advanced by Crunchpad to FG's creditors were a matter of mutual convenience.

Plaintiffs' lawyers note that it's "the only line of the entire PDF that is blurred in that manner." Hide the needle (and then obscure it too) in a big stack and dump it at the last possible moment.

From the linked wikipedia article: "The civil class action which was filed by five plaintiffs, one of whom has died, accused the tech companies of collusion to not recruit one another's employees between 2005 and 2009." Hence 4 years of wage suppression.

Plaintiffs will go after everyone they find, even those only peripherally involved.
