You would? That seems like an outsized reaction to a broken chair.

Small claims makes low dollar torts fairly straightforward.

Interesting, I wonder how often Small-claims gets used for software. At the same time:

@d13 What if the house magically changed shape so the chair couldn't be used any more in that house? Suddenly one day you'll need to sit on the floor and eat, until you had gotten new chairs, for the new shape of the house

Who would you sue (the house or the chair company or no one?)

Or instead, when the house changes shape randomly and whenever, what about paying the chair company for upgrading your chairs to match the new shape of the house (and you'd never have to cook and eat on the floor)

(It makes little sense, I think, to compare software with chairs and houses. Unless the houses are magical as per above)
