Steve Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 A lost laptop , a $54 million lawsuit How much compensation does a consumer deserve for the loss of a laptop computer loaded with personal information? Raelyn Campbell figures itâ??s $54 million -- if you throw in a little extra for lost time and frustration. Six months after bringing a damaged laptop computer into a Best Buy electronics store for repairs, and three months after the firm admitted losing it, Campbell filed the whopper of a lawsuit recently in Washington, D.C., Superior Court...

shygye Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well, she was without internet porn for 6 months. Seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi, "Seems excessive." Excessive? Downright insane I'd say. Just for her greed she should be told to fuck off and not get anything. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The link reveals that she was definitely fucked around and has a right to be pissed off. I had a similar experience with a computer retailer in Australia and seriously considered firebombing their head office. Link1 Link2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drogon Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Agree with Mekong If it happened to me I would ask for 80 million as all my anal Thai porno stocked on my hard disk would be lost :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Does sort of clear things...sounds like my on going battle with ATT Wireless and my mobile phone...but I digress...the amount still sounds outrageous, people who suffer physical injuries/loss of limb don't have claim to this amount so hard to believe she'd get anywhere near that. Though I agree that it is hard to put a price on her lost software and her photos and her aggravation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 It is simple contract law. She gets the price of a USED laptop and software. The photos have no commercial value, unless for her porn website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
