Just because Apple has filed, it does not mean the SC has to take the case. Apparently that is the statistically likely outcome here.

The funny thing is that there are no innocent babes here. Amazon is a monopolist that abuses their position whenever they can. The big publishers form a cabal rather than a monopoly but a use their position whenever they can. Apple is a control freak and is making an obscene amount of profits. They have made an insanely popular platform which they totally control. Hold your nose and pick your side. |

I take it that SCOTUS has not rendered a decision on whether or not to take up the case. Maybe these third parties are getting worried that they will not (rightly so IMO, I don't think they will take it up).
At what point will we learn one way or the other? It seems they compile and circulate 'discuss lists', and this is used somehow to decide which things to hear, but my admittedly superficial research has not determined how this plays out. Is there some time limit after which things die by default? |

Yes. Each case that goes to SCOTUS goes through a bunch of desk-monkeys that consider if a case is even worthy enough to include in the weekly (?) meetings the judges have to discuss each case that is worthy. If it doesn't make it to the meeting, it is already been dismissed (none of the judges sen it). If it goes to the meeting and the judges agree (vote) to hear it, they may hear it unless they change their mind later on. Or they dismiss it in meeting.

To come up with a claim that someone else damaged competition in the marketplace, the five Menendez Publishing Orphans had to simplify their appeal and evade the damage they did to Amazon's previously much less less anemic competitors. Oh Wait, you were perhaps criticizing the zany appeal? |
