Correct.
Luckily for the witnesses for Apple and the publishers, given the judge's opinion of their veracity.
As for the stockholders, they are losing more paper value out of the market's irrational expectations for iPhone than Apple would ever pay even if they got smacked with everything they've got coming. It is, of course, far less than they've made off the same market's past irrationality for the stock.
The stock market giveth and it taketh back.
