Absolutely. That is why I just sent an email to the addresses listed above. Basically, I objected to any settlement that allows the defendants to use the Agency method in the future. The Agency method was the result of an illegal collusion between Apple and the publisher defendants. The Agency method is not used to distribute any other format of book.
Music and Video have made the shift to the internet. Books still need to make that shift, and artificial price fixing to supress demand is not the way to go about it.
