Joe Q's link pretty much explains why DV has stopped the events. I'm not sure when the settlement occurred, but the article is dated just ten days ago. DV's action appears to be a direct consequence.
Wish they would put people like me on those juries. There would be a lot less money awarded.
I read/hear "follow the money" whenever one wants to get to the root of almost any matter. The other explanation of why things are done -- or prohibited in this case -- is "fear of lawsuits", which is just another version of follow the money.
