Of course, my position is that those lawyers get their plaintiffs - fellow forum members included, Kunzite - money in compensation or a fix. The people you would deny that to are responsible for many posts on the issue, including a poll where one way of interpreting it is that it's a third of all owners.
So, I'd say the lawyers, sadly, are necessary brokers. Your fellow Pentax owners need them if the corporation is to be held to account. It shouldn't have come to this. Part of the filing claims Pentaxians' complaints went unheeded. And if some were dealt with quietly, why not all?

Ricoh Imaging is precisely the one to take the blame, and now is the exact moment to do it, for maximum effect
When you buy a company hoping to make a profit 'down the road', fair's fair, you don't just get their assets and current customers, you get all their liabilities as well.
I've said I'm on the consumer's side. Now, you know I love you, Kunzite, but you claim you're neutral, you're not taking sides (except anti-lawyer as a profession, seemingly).
But read all your last posts to me. De facto, you are on the corporation's side.
