No, of course I didn't sue them and they knew I wasn't going to sue. It isn't like there is even a phone number or person that you can call to complain. And really, what would I sue for exactly? How could I prove they did that on purpose?
I'm also not JWZ (even though my club was on the same street as his). I didn't have endless gobs of Netscape money to sink into dealing with stuff like that... and that is a big reason why my business died. This is just one story of many issues we faced.
Lesson learned: never open a night club despite how good your intentions are.
If their mistake did cause harm to your business, they should pay for it. Having more or less money than the other part should have zero correlation with the result of a justice judgement, because having more or less money do not change the facts that have happened and should be judged.
At least that's how we conceive justice in France (eg "dommages et intérêts"), but after reading the US-DE comparison [1] I understand I am probably wrong.

You shouldn't need to.
