Epic: “Why in the world would you assume the behavior wouldn’t continue unless it were expressly prohibited?”

Epic lead attorney Gary Bornstein is seemingly suggesting that that because the injunction doesn’t specifically stop Google from adding more friction, the proposed settlement where Google removes that friction would be better (by creating explicit programs for registered rival app stores).

Dr. Rose says she isn’t assuming Google’s behavior will stop, but thinks it’s in Google’s best interests not to get hauled back before the court. She says the court has to balance the pluses and minuses of the proposals before it, she’s just here to say that the settlement doesn’t seem to fix the network effects that led to Google’s firm grip over Android apps.
