> But denying by court a company a right to honestly pay to another company

Considering this is an antitrust case, those payments are not honest.

That is my point - they _are_ honest (i.e. not stolen or tax evaded, not earned on illegal drugs etc).

But a short sighted court decided otherwise for whatever dumb reason they had.

Oh, nothing dumb about antitrust. It is an important regulation. Good to see it being upheld.
