I love the legal system in this country. They don't even have to admit they were wrong. But what does it matter. They got hit in the pocketbook.

" The antitrust lawsuit was filed by Attorneys General of 49 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories and commonwealths, and claims there was a conspiracy involving three of the nation's top publishers and others to fix and raise retail prices of E-books.

These three Publishers ("Settling Publishers") have agreed to settle the lawsuit. The Settling Publishers deny they have done anything wrong but have agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of trial. The case is in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is called Texas et al. v. Hachette Book Group et al., Case No.12-cv-6625. ("Et alia" is a Latin phrase that means "and others.")

This Court has preliminarily approved the proposed Settlements and will consider whether to grant final approval on February 8, 2013. (See Question 19.)

A separate case continues against two additional Publishers ("Non-Settling Publishers") and Apple, Inc. This separate case is called Texas et al. v. Penguin Group, (USA) Inc.et al., Case No. 12-cv-03394, and is scheduled to go to trial in 2013, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York."
