stonetools, from all accounts (even at the time it was happening) it appears that the big publishing did break the rules. Why are you protecting them? Is that your job in DC? No, honestly, it may still come out that what now appears to be illegal conduct was not in fact so but why would you type in pages and pages in defense of these guys?

We are not a court here, we don't put people in jail and we do not necessarily have to abide by "innocent until proven guilty" thing. We are ebook customers and we got screwed over by these guys. Why don't you share our indignation?

Even it they get acquitted, they will lose their business because they publicly (was iPad announcement public enough?) chose to screw their customers. They lost their PR battle long ago.
