Dismissal with prejudice is the normal end of most lawsuits that settle.
If D violates the terms of the settlement, P sues to enforce the 
settlement.  If D commits *new* violations of P's copyright, P sues for 
those violations.  That's a new suit covering a new cause of action, and 
is not affected by the dismissal with prejudice of the old suit, which 
was a different cause of action for a different alleged infringement.
