I believe these are Lawyer driven Lawsuits, in which the Legal Firm cuts a backroom deal with some individual OR individuals, & then files the Lawsuit.
I've carefully Read & Analyzed that $100M settlement that Apple agreed to with TWO OTHER App Developers, & in which that Legal Firm gets $33.3M of the total, AND it's a Total Joke of a Settlement !
The ONLY ones who are winning are the Lawyers !
Apple could & should put a stop to it, & ASAP !
Apple should "publicly" state that the Lawyers can ONLY get 10% of the settlement value !
That would put an immediate end to it ALL !
Stupid move by Tim Cook & his Apple by NOT doing so !
In fact, in the $100M settlement doc, they openly state that they are OK with the Lawyers for that case getting 1/3 of the Total !
Tim Cook isn't fit, IQ wise, to run a powerhouse like AAPL !
Even a little kid could immediately conclude Apple screws itself !
