    I don’t understand how this can be legal. It’s like if I sent out a mass email saying everyone owes me $50 unless they opt out.

      It’s not explicitly illegal, and it will dissuade some users from litigation. Even if it does not hold up in court, it will be a road block that requires you hiring a lawyer and going to court in order to get started.
