No.
They are not judging the industry.
They are not saying what is a good and bad idea.
They are investigating whether something illegal was done.
The are not saying that they have
accepted the logic or that
the creator should control the sale price. They are saying that an Agency type agreement is not in itself illegal. Logic is irrelevant. Should is irrelevant. Legal or illegal is the standard.
