Does someone really understand this?
Can you provide a 20 word explanation of the issue at hand?
What cooperative compensation means in this case, and what subtlety of it was determined to have been violated?

To my naive ears the article seems to be speaking about the usual commission split rule in MLS being a no-no.
i.e., By listing with MLS, the listing agent pre-agrees that the closing agent will get a certain cut of the ultimate total commission.
If that is forbidden, it sure would be a big change to the market.
