It is stupid to publicly declare they want to restablish the same anticompetitive terms they got taken to court over. Or that the other BPHs intend to impose the exact same terms.
That is just begging to be taken to court again.
Worse, what if after all the pronouncements and posturing they end up signing another wholesale contract and their authors lose income for nothing?
They painted themselves into a corner and left no room for compromise on either side.
That is stupid negotiation tactics: you always leave the other guy room to at least save face. To say nothing of yourself...
