Well, I know Roger, Nick, etc are against it but making Tor run as a server by default may be worth more consideration (I2P does this).  Also, I've read posts about the possibility of offering better speed/etc to clients who also operate servers, this may be the best option.

A class-action would be the best option but I believe it would be hard/impossible to make a class-action with operators in different countries due in part to how each country
 handles class-actions (or if they allow them at all).  This would mean a class-action in Germany by German operators and a class-action in France by French operators, etc, etc.  It may be more feasible to offer monetary help with legal defense and fines incurred to individual operators than try to launch class-actions in each country.

Thoughts?
