If they don't opt out, then they waive their rights to sue later on. Again, this is only if you are already part of the suit. As for people saying it hasn't been long enough, the original settlement was made almost a year ago. If you were already part of the class action suit (again, the only people this whole settlement affects), then you were notified of it a long time ago.

Exactly. I think a lot of people talking about this as if it were some big problem and taking away the rights of authors, don't really understand the details.
