They did settle.
(With fingers crossed, though.)
The prospect of summary judgment and treble damages finally git through the re a lity distortion.
Quote:
Last July, a federal court found Apple liable for colluding with the publishers after a separate non-jury trial in a case brought by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Judge Cote found that Apple took part in a price-fixing conspiracy to fight online retailer Amazon.com Inc's dominance in the e-book market.
Apple is appealing that decision and Monday's settlement is contingent on the outcome of that appeal.
"As set forth in the memorandum of understanding, any payment to be made by Apple under the settlement agreement will be contingent on the outcome of that appeal," Steve Berman of Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, the plaintiffs' lead lawyer, wrote in a letter to the judge.

Considering the odds of that appeal succeeding are...low... the odds of the AG's getting to preen this fall look good.
