Yes and no. The publishers didn't file a lawsuit until the policy of uncontrolled digital lending was temporarily enacted, but the lawsuit is targeting controlled digital lending as well. You can read the complaint itself to find this out, helpfully linked by the plaintiffs themselves in their own press release about the lawsuit.
Were it only about uncontrolled digital lending, the suit would have been tossed as moot two years ago.

I don't think "we stopped doing it when ordered to by a court" is much of a sign of good faith...
