On the whole, other than the problems I've had with PDML, my experience with them has been MOSTLY satisfactory. And they're far from being alone in outsourcing their "tech support". In fact, I've had far worse experiences with off-shored tech support than those with EarthLink. On 7/11/2019

A have never heard of a "pro bono" class action. First, the cost of conducting that type of litigation is enormous -- even excluding attorney fees. Second, one purpose of creating a class action is to get the court to award attorneys fees paid by the defendant to the attorneys for the class.
