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.

Class action law suits are rarely about making injured parties whole. It's almost always about extracting bucks for lawyers. If the states are involved, then the money typically goes to a state slush fund.
I'm with you on the publisher's settlement. I felt that I paid a fair price for the ebooks I bought, but if they are going to force me to take the money, I have no problem using it to buy more ebooks.
