Wonderful article Joost! As a business litigation attorney, I'm not surprised by Google's Epic loss.
Google showed its true colors for everyone to see how not to litigate, at least when a jury is involved rather than a federal court judge. Judges sometimes ignore compelling proof and disregard outright perjury. When federal court judge's decide cases, powerful businesses like Google win often enough by outright denial of transparent misconduct and win by never admitting anything. On appeal, the lack of admissions is often helpful to avoid reversal.
It's harder for that approach to work with juries. Google had no case at all, and tripled down on a transparently false narrative. Nice to see the jury didn't buy it. Apple's victory is looking shakier.
I'd be curious to see what average churn for series on Netflix is between seasons and see how a show like the Witcher stacks up.
