[QUOTE]It is also hard to settle a lawsuit when you know you have done no wrong. The government’s charge is that Macmillan’s CEO colluded with other CEO’s in changing to the agency model. I am Macmillan’s CEO and I made the decision to move Macmillan to the agency model. After days of thought and worry, I made the decision on January 22nd, 2010 a little after 4:00 AM, on an exercise bike in my basement. It remains the loneliest decision I have ever made, and I see no reason to go back on it now.[/QUOTE]
If that is true, Apple and Mcmillan win out right, regardless of what happens to the other publishers or whether you believe his reason for going agency. The timeline supports the idea that Mcmillan decided to go agency alone.
