Well, they got it.
If I felt people were deliberately being discriminated against, I would applaud them. But this looks like a calculated move to get money and when one avenue was closed down (against the deep pockets of the developer with the RLGs) they looked around and found somewhere else to sue.
I will miss the LLC and I feel sorry for the instructors (whether they are paid well or not--I suspect you make more if you have full classes) but I'm kind of glad they stood up to it. I'm sure they thought the fear of having to close LLC would be a strong card to use in settlement talks. well, now that is off the table.

Speech-to-text is often garbled on television, too. Maybe the jerks can sue the networks, too.
