The up to $500K is being paid separately. Item #54 in the Settlement document is where that info is located. What does come out of the Common Fund breaks down to something like this: Incentive Awards: up to $5k each to the class representatives. So that's $10k Consultants: $15k to the auditor Class Administration: $100K from the fund. $15k by the Defendents. So it's more like around $135k off the top of the $1M before the 70/30 split. Still no one should expect a large check out of this settlement, as is usual with class settlements. For me the larger import is to what degree and how effectively compliance efforts are changed. Jonathan,

What does come out of the Common Fund breaks down to something like this:

Incentive Awards: up to $5k each to the class representatives. So that's $10k

Consultants: $15k to the auditor

Class Administration: $100K from the fund. $15k by the Defendents.

So it's more like around $135k off the top of the $1M before the 70/30 split.

Still no one should expect a large check out of this settlement, as is usual with class settlements.

For me the larger import is to what degree and how effectively compliance efforts are changed.

Only the cookie stuffers, coupon cart poachers and the software4 BHO's will be paid monthy by CJ any more. The rest can die or pray they get to the magic $100.00 payout level. I thought I personally put an end to 100.00 network minimums during the 90's Revenews.com Netowrk CEO challenge and debate...
