Google click fraud settlement reached, guess how much the lawyers get?

[cheezy321]

Under the settlement, Google will hand over advertising credits worth $4.50 for every $1,000 spent on advertising during the past four and a half years, according to the AP. No cash will be paid to the plaintiffs; however, $30 million of the settlement will be passed on to attorneys.

No cash will be paid to the plaintiffs....

Why did they even agree to the deal....

Judge Griffin said Google?s settlement was ?fair, reasonable and adequate,? according to the AP.

LOL, what a douche.

So did the lawyers get advertising credit too?

:thumbsup: to the lawyers that convinced the plaintiff to settle for principle and no money.

Seriously, how did that conversation go? "No, you see, we get $30 million, and you get the satisfaction of knowing YOU won. You stuck it to Google. Oh, we'll take you out to dinner too. Your choice."
