Hardly anyone engaging in civil disobedience fails to try for acquittal in court, except when the penalty is trivial.
If price maintenance rules, whether those of publishers or European governments, are evil, as JSWolf seems to maintain in #53, then Amazon has an obligation to resist. Amazon, and its lawyers, should then do everything practical to avoid being penalized. My only problem would be that price maintenance is not evil, but morally neutral.
