No complaints then. But if it was done as an overall agreement then they've most likely broken the law and deserve slapping for it with hefty fines. |
What if the collusion was quiet? Jobs openly broadcasts the concept and the individual players independently decide to take that road. Is that illegal?
What if the collusion did not refer to price? They collude, but only in terms of business strategy, not price. Is that illegal?
Is Jobs culpable? From the grave? He isn't a publisher. He has only an opinion, not a vote.
Is Apple?
