So at some point in the distant future, we're probably going to have a Supreme Court case, determining whether or not Congress meant to allow class action suits over advertising by fax. (NY Times, registration required.) And then the case will go back to the trial level to have the damages recalculated, because $12 million for illegal faxing is just obnoxious.
So, we should see the end of this in ... what, 2010?
