Anyone can file anything in the U.S. courts... you  may get it dismissed (although then again you may not) but either way, it's going to be time and money out of your pocket fighting it.  MUCH better to just get compliant than to end up a test case.

In our experience, orgs that are already following all industry best practices are, generally, at least 70% of the way to becoming compliant already.   Where it can get expensive for the ones who aren't is in hardening their systems to provide for better security/privacy.  U.S. companies are used to being able to drink at the firehose of data that is collected here in the U.S., and use it however they want.. this is the real major change.  I suppose you could say it's expensive in that it is reducing the ways they can monetize that data.
