Ah; since I think regret is likely, and certainly plausible, I didn't read it that way.

As I understand it, in part from helping with litigation support in my '90s document imaging days, plaintiffs and defendants don't like lawsuits, and the wise try very hard to avoid them. Taking on a state attorney general, and the Hollywood-Political Complex, is not likely to be fun, and could get very ugly. Google certainly didn't initiate these fights.

I'd have to agree -- Google almost certainly does regret taking this to court (because they have had to, however, they almost certainly intend to make Hood regret it more.)
