Exactly. Even Judge Cote said it would be extremely difficult to quantity harm. How does one calculate "lost sales" that doesn't make it seem you are guessing? The judge is too smart to be fooled by fancy arithmetic. The record and movie studios have been trying for years and have failed every single time.
Then you have to add in other factors like Amazon's excellent ecosystem with the Kindle Keyboard, newly released iPad and indie insurgence.
