I was surprised by how readable it is, but I guess I shouldn't be. The judge, of course, is not a publishing expert. So much of what you have in this case is witnesses explaining, more or less from first principles, what the publishing business is and how it works. Except the witnesses are CEOs of the Big Five publishers, and similar level people. And (except in a few cases) I was surprised to find the testimony is refreshingly direct, for an industry that is often mired in ambiguity.
