Who pays the lawyer *while* they're working? Before the case is
decided? Or do the lawyers all work and only take payment at the end of
the case?

In that case you can easily take it back for a refund, for not performing as
advertised.
And then there's probably some official organisation in your country that
looks into these claims of false advertising and deals with them.

Nor I and I hope that I never do. I find this blame culture we in the
UK are developing most distasteful.

Speaking personally I got an invoice at the end of the case and that was
what was arranged up front, but I suppose the length and amount of work
that needs to be done can alter that.

I really dislike it here in the US. Nobody has personal responsibility
for anything they do these days.

Culture *is* America's greatest export. :-)

Hmmm... Where can I buy Anti-RIAA lawsuit insurance? :-)
I don't know. I'd think the insurance company would only pay out at the
end, when they find they need to pay something. Of course, if they're
defending their *own* money, then sure.

Huh. Maybe it *does* work that way. As I said, I have only secondhand
knowledge of this stuff.
Still, a 1% chance of losing 10 million dollars is certainly something
you might want to avoid by paying $1000.

At least here most insurance companies offer free legal advice right
away. You don't have to pay anything at any point. (Whether your insurance
payments increase later is probably a different story.)
Also many labor unions offer free legal advice to all their members.
Of course if you have no insurance nor belong to any such labor union,
I suppose you have pay quite considerable fees to the lawyer.
