First you have to prove that they did something wrong and what it was. It's not always as straight forward as you my think. Some of these companies hide under cleverly writen EULA's and various other documentations and disclaimers that serve to slow down the legal actions against them. Most of these badware "companies" spend more time and money on their legal departments then programming, and if they survive long enough, they lobby for laws for companies and lawmakers to protect them. Ask any knowledgable person in the IT industry if even some of the major brands sometimes miss specific and very well known malware. You'd be suprised at who's heads can be turned by a truck load of benjamins, though as long as it's been going on I don't see why anyone still is.
