I don't think you can claim that the lawyers filing this class action suit have the same motivations as the DOJ. I'm not quite sure who would be the class in this case (all ebook buyers from Apple, all ebook buyers from the 5 publishers?), but I'm not sure why this should go forward since the settlements by the publishers in the class action lawsuits by the 50 state attorneys general should be covering the damages incurred by ebook buyers.
