Trial lawyers have won another victory against American economic competitiveness. Lawsuit was over the fact that Epson's printers incorrectly reported empty ink cartridges. Of course a small reserve is needed to prevent the printer head from going dry. Never mind, cheaper to just give into the shark lawyers. Consumers will get $45 credit to spend at Epson's online store on overpriced goods while trial lawyers will get 25% of total award in hard cash. Epson is apparently not required to fix this reporting problem. Probably because it wasn't a problem in the first place...
