Putting the privacy concerns aside, it hardly seems like anything worth suing over. From my understanding it queries the surfer's computer if you've been to a domain or not. While I agree that this is a privacy breach (of the software maker more than the website exploiting it), I don't see what kind of damages they'd seek in retribution. The information basically identifies IP address and a yes/no response to whether the surfer has been to a website. Hardly seems like anything of value nor pursuing legal action for.
