Settlement numbers are not disclosed. Given externals say the 2-month problem had little commercial impact, I wonder who wins here?
According to the Association of American Publishers president and CEO Pallante, "infringement is both costly and antithetical to the public interest". This sounds very wrong: The interests served here are clearly the publishers' and most likely the best-selling authors.
But again, no number to suggest so. Yet suing costs a lot (and part of the GDP in the US, haha). And yet the Wired article mentions IA may face a $400M case on music. It looks like "worth it for publishers" to sue, including signalling.
