If he’s got any understanding of the situation, then he must be thinking virtually pro bono. The number of damaged individuals and actually damages is a rounding error in UA’s legal budget. Even if you got the T&Cs, thinking this would actually go to court is a bit naive IMHO. Simple calculation for lawyers to take a case on contingency: (expected damages x chance of success x their percentage cut) less costs. The middle term and first term aren’t going to be large numbers.

You probably have a better chance communicating directly w/ UA - and you see how that’s going.
