The article doesn't mention any criminal charges. So, the cost of this payout will simply be passed on to (particularly, captive -- think IP monopolies) customers. I'm glad the problems were finally acknowledged, but very sad that no one is going to jail for them. The responsible parties simply buy their way out, using their customers' (aka the victims') money.
