I can write about it on my personal website. Maybe I'll submit it here some time. I'm afraid it's not that interesting other than the emails of me trolling them.

That can be a helpful part of the writeup. I'm sure it would motivate a bunch of us to actually do that.

I second this! I'm sure there's lots of people on HN who would find this really useful. There's so little corporate accountability that individual legal action might actually prove significant. And as far as applying economic pressure, a ton of small-claims cases could prove more costly than a single class-action suit (and hence provide more deterrence).

Whenever I have worked somewhere and someone has complained and got no where, as soon as they lawyer up it goes to the top of the pile, 200% vip treatment!

Thirded. It could really have an effect to write about it and give this more attention, with perhaps a call to action to do likewise (and why that might be good).
