It is hard to argue they can't do something they are already doing, no? 
The one thing I hope the lawsuit achieves is to (finally!) get the BPHs and their apologists thinking about how *they* do business instead of how Amazon does business. There is no magic bullet, there is no savior. The only solution is good, legal, modern business practices.
The past is done and gone; if they don't start looking *realistically* at the future, their finances are going to keep on suffering.
Already the five are at risk for $100 million in refunds. Unspecified fines. And that is before the class actin suits. And the other 35 state AGs. |
I believe that the three that settled agreed to pay $151 million in fines and the like. I am hoping that the consumer who has been paying the extra cost for those books sees some of that. It is not like the various companies do not have a complete record of what has been purchased and could not easily tally some type of compensation for customers based on what they have purchased.
Personally, I would prefer a check that I could deposit and use to buy an IPad. (Yes I am finally caving and getting an IPad). (winks)
I don't think that is going to happen but it would be nice.
