Apple or the publishers?
Letting Apple be the only retailer that can discount is no punishment.
However, at this point giving the publishers exactly what they wanted is the best punishment; if they want to sell at competitive prices, the discount comes out of their pocket, not the retailers.
2016 isn't 2010.
We'll have to wait and see how that lawsuit ends to see what damages the court assesses. And whether Sony and others, ahem, follow suit.
