Are there examples of any other outcomes that prohibited two specific companies from exchanging anything of value? This seems like a strange outcome. Why not

Are there examples of any other outcomes that prohibited two specific companies from exchanging anything of value? This seems like a strange outcome. Why not just prohibit payment for default search? Doesn't Apple use Google's servers to pre-train it's AI models? So that gets banned to? Why? How and why is any better for Apple to pay Amazon or MSFT for that than Google?

It's not exactly this, but there is an interesting thing going on right now with the San Diego Padres in American Major League Baseball. The owner died last year and control of the team initially passed to his younger brothers. His wife wasn't happy about that and sued them and the team has ended up with an injunction pending resolution of who gets to actually control it going forward, and they've gone from being one of the most active franchises in the league of the past decade to making literally no new deals this offseason and watching all of their free agents leave. They basically can't buy anything until the court decides who of the surviving family gets to decide what to buy, which effects their own employees who can't get new contracts and any other franchises that otherwise might have traded with them.

  It would be lovely if the 6th Amendment ("speedy and public trial") also applied to non-criminal proceedings.

    But then wealthy people might have to pay the entities they would rather defraud indefinitely with eternally delayed judgements.

    I always thought the right to a 'speedy' trial was more about latency than throughput. I.e., the accused shouldn't have to wait 10 years before the trial begins, but no guarantees about the duration of the trial.

      It's easy to screw defendants over either way - say, "start" your trial ASAP...but then pause it for a few months for some quibble, then a few more months for some detail, then a few more months for ...

        How speedy is speedy anyways? IIRC, the big reason plea bargains get accepted is because the offer is "time served" as-in the time you spent in jail awaiting trail will be what you agree as a punishment and you'll be immediately released.

  It sounds like the court, like King Solomon, decided to cut the baby in half.
