"DRM Found To Be Good For Consumers" well that was taken out of context. Apple's fairplay DRM helped prove to record companies that music can be distributed digitally and not turn into a complete mess of piracy. If Apple didn't do this we wouldn't have the music streaming services we have now, Apple's DRM helped bring the music distribution industry into the digital age much faster.
 
IF it was used in the present day then yes it would be very anti competitive, but this was 2006 when there was still a lot of uncertainty about distributing music digitally and it helped establish the validity of digital music distribution to record companies.  
 
This case wasn't about DRM being good or bad for consumers, it was about Apples use of DRM to thwart other companies. In the end the jury decided that Apple was working to get record companies to distribute music digitally which made more content available to consumers rather than thwarting competitors.

They're just scratching the surface on what's possible... 

investors lost those billions, not  apple ...

Please come to Michigan, Google. I don't care if you spy on my pr0n.

Some Investors lost a lot of money, And if a company insinuates or leads an investor to believe the market is better than it really is then that company can be held accountable, this is why the stock market has laws and requirements for companies to present their financials and be audited. AMD may have done the dirty, they may have been caught on a technicality or they may just be the unlucky with gross sales and the market downturn.  Either way the investors a have a right to sue for being mislead.
