I'm not sure I understand your logic. I would think that if Apple thought that they were doing something illegal that they would have settled just like the publishers. The monetary amount would have been coming out of petty cash and they wouldn't have had to admit wrong doing.

Most corporations have little to no government oversight. That occurs only in the regulated industries such as banking and utilities. I can't think of a reason why Apple, which had no government oversight, would play such a game.
