Six people injure you. Five settle. Doesn't mean you can't sue the sixth.

I've never gotten a class action settlement that was actually worth much to the injured parties. I haven't even bothered to claim them. Not worth the postage and hassle. If the publishers settlement ends up giving me anything, it'll be because I didn't have to file a claim.
