I don't think you have to be too intelligent to figure that settling this out was one of the requirements before a deal would go forward. It is only unfortunate that once again it appears that the FTC issued another toothless ruling that allows the guilty to keep their ill gotten gains, without addressing the issues of how this affected things like their affiliate agrrements and such.
