Ed's Bootlegs (inc. Supreme Court summons), not so legal after all? Options

[OutToDry]

I've been searching for public notes on what may be happening in the courtroom, here's one of them. I suspect the selling of bootlegs on Ed's website are not legal as they appear.

How does that make sense? Why can't Ed accept a settlement in some kind of compensation for the trouble? Or why would CCP accept a settlement when the are as innocent as THEY claim?

I just figure that CCP aren't out for blood as much as some people might think. If they see an opportunity to end it but yet still feel they got something for it then they may take it.
CCP may accept a settlement because it might still be a fair amount to them? Ed on the other hand was the one who had the lawsuit thrown at him, I know if I was a totally innocent person and someone wanted to sue me and I knew I was innocent and had the means to prove it (which I assume Ed does, if he's innocent, why would there be any evidence to prove otherwise?) then I would want to fight it and make sure I won against a law suit that tried to sully my name, my reputation and take my money.
If I was innocent the last thing I'd want to do is go "hey I'm innocent, but here have some money anyways for all the trouble you caused me!"

Anyways, that's just the way I see it.
