Class Action Fairness Law signed today.

ANY amount over $10,000 must be handled by a federal court.

90 Day waiting period meaning you sue someone, they have 90 days to prepare their case.

You MUST sue the person in THEIR own domain (IE: their home town, county, state)

Trial Lawyers do not get high fees anymore, the JUDGE tells them what they may charge per CASE.

JUDGES decide the actual amount of the award and they are allowed to throw out anything.

Bush gave an example, a lady sued a grocery store over a coupon for $0.50.
The judge awarded her $0.50 because that's all it was worth.

So someone steals an image set from you, the judge looks at the pictures and if THAT judge thinks the pictures are only worth $50.00 thats what your getting.

Read about it on Cnn.
