Three Publishers settled. As part of the settlement, they are each going to pay $51 million. So, half the defendents have agreed to wrong doing and are taking a decent size financial hit in the process.
On top of that, their contracts will be voided and they will have to renegotiate with Amazon, Apple, BN, and all the other bookstores. And they have to have their contracts and dealings monitored and approved for the next five years.
So, yeah, there has been an admission of wrong doing by half of the denfendants complete with some decent penalties. Sure sounds to me like someone is admitting that they broke the law.
