So who are they settling with? Where's my cut? Why do I have to settle for what those other people agreed to?

I anal, but also IANAL. If you ever opt in or are part of a class action lawsuit by default, you do not have to accept the results. You can refuse your cut, but you typically have to actively refute it, otherwise you're assumed to be cool with it. If you do refuse the settlement, you can pursue your own legal actions.

I got a check for 73 cents.
