Case could set precedence for thousands like it.

So they basically got away with it without consequences? I mean $572 million wouldn't even qualify as a slap on the wrist for a company so large. (let alone come anywhere close to the actual cost of the damage they did) So we're keeping with the same precedent America has set for corporations since the 1980's. No Real Consequences! This is what people mean when they praise the free market. The right of corporations to do whatever they like with effectively no accountability.

Well they're just part of it. Purdue Medical and some other group paid up already.
