Yes, true. However, I'm sure had Apple won, not a single person on this forum would have changed their minds.
One has to live with the Supreme Court judgments....but that's it. Nobody who believes abortion is murder has changed their mind just because the Supreme Court said its ok. Etc. Etc.
Apple will pay the fine. The rest of the changes have already been implemented as far as the publishers and Amazon.
Amazon continues to amass anti-competitive powers in the book business that would has been blunted had Apple succeeded in creating a decent competitor.
