I agree that since the publishers settled at separate times the terms all expire at different times. What the DoJ was proposing though was a 5 year term for Apple which although longer then the existing publisher settlement would have provided the opportunity for the publishers to do the same thing again. "We didn't collude, we all separately negotiated the same terms at the same time." I believe that what Judge Cote is suggesting is better then the DoJ proposal.
On the other point in regards to the external monitor, I hope what she was doing was sending a message to Apple. Stop the posturing, demonstrate you are taking this seriously and understand that you broke the law and I'll stay out of the app store and won't impose a 3rd party monitor in your business. Continue the posturing and you leave me no choice.
