What should TPTB seek damages for? They're the ones who made the stupid mistake -- They supplied a mislabeled episode. iTunes is just a distribution channel - it's up to TPTB to make sure they provide files that are appropriately identified according to whatever the iTunes standard is to make sure they go up in the correct order at the correct time. It's NOT iTunes' responsibility to double-check what they're told by the supplier, or to contemplate the distinction between production numbers and air order numbers. Once the bad file was reported to them, they took it down. That was the right thing to do.
(And if the ep. ends up with a low rating, I don't think that can be attributed to Apple either. They didn't make the mistake, and they're not responsible for the stupidity of either SciFi or the vanishingly small number (probably approaching zero) of Nielsen households that include illicitly downloading fans.)
