Hachette is one of four plaintiffs; a majority stake is currently held by Vivendi, which is worth over $10 billion. Another, HarperCollins, is owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp, and the Murdochs might just not want to sell.

Not any longer (since Sept 2023).

I wouldn't believe for a second the Murdochs have given up on that power.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

It's actually not just Hachette, it's also Wiley, Penguin Random House, and HarperCollins.
