The next step for you Stoker, if you're willing to take it, is to have your attorney write a letter to Linden Lab or perhaps more appropriately call them up on the phone, about their enforcement or lack-there-of of the DMCA.

Class actions are extremely expensive and usually backed by only a handful of clients, you need one primary client to represent. All other potentially affected people are represented as well if they opt in but they do not pay any of the costs. Often the lawyers will assume some of the costs as the potential payoff is huge and the lawyer can stand to take a double digit percentage of the settlement and the clients get a smaller portion and the settlement and the public at large just a micron of that. Class action lawsuits tend to be punitive or pirate, either their out to make a buck or their trying to punish the company for their actions (Or both). It seldom ever helps the clientelle other than getting the company to change it's policy, but it does help the attorneys (On both sides) and it hurts the company and often the primary clientes as well as they assume the burded if the class action fails (Though again attorneys often take on part of the financial risk).
