Seems simple. Why don't they make the publisher's settlements null and void and proceed to take the publishers to court. Apple was already found guilty of colluding with the publishers so it shouldn't be difficult to prove the publishers were also colluding.

In this country, we generally have a trial before imposing a sentence. Old fashion, I know, but that's how it's done.
