That's a lot of money to spend to not follow through and put the last nail in the coffin.

What money? They have lawyers on payroll and filing fees are minimal. Their direct outlays so far in the three figures.

And I don't get what "following through" is supposed to mean? Trying to convince a judge that someone who got $5 for posting a review on Amazon encouraging people to buy from Amazon has damaged Amazon's business and should pay $XXX because of it? Multiplied by 1,000 defendants? That would be the laughable part. And that's the part Amazon won't be doing.
