No - it doesn't work like that. The subscription isn't for a day. It is for a month. Damages are $15.99 per subscriber.

So that's $959,400,000 in damages

When a class is certified, then you can start stacking attorneys fees on top of that.

Oh yeah and wouldn't you know it, the attorneys fees are like $600-1000 an hour. And it is hard work finding all those 60 MM subscribers.

Could be wrong on some details - maybe there is a better class action expert than me on this DOM.

Class action or not, if the service functioned normally the whole month except for one day, why would they owe anyone more than the 1 day cost of service? (35 cents)

Lots of other class action questions come up re: lawyers, plannedemic, and plannedriots.

Failure of consideration. The consideration was a month worth of service. Was a month's worth of service provided?

And if I take you argument well it wasn't even a full day it was denied, so 35 cents would be too much.

I contracted to have Apple Music on demand for a complete month. Tell me how they satisfied their obligation to provide bargained-for services under their monthly contract?

I hope you're right. Per dium seems to be the way Courts look at such things. Seems they were thinking nobody would sue over 35 cents.

I'd love to see them buried under this ....

You could only sue for the day it didn’t work, not the month. I had assumed it was $10 a month. You don’t get a separate hourly fee on antitrust plaintiffs cases, you just get a cut of the settlement or verdict.
