Nah, that doesn't sound like collusion. The video (thanks Andrys) showing Jobs at the January 27, 2010 Ipad rollout:
Clearly, SJ was having a genuine psychic moment. It was almost as though he had met with them to discuss joining the Agency instead of the far more plausible likelihood that the BPHs all simultaneously decided that they would enact the same scheme with the same 30% commission, going into effect at the same time, all without having any discussions with SJ or any of the other publishers. Apparently, they're all psychic.  |
If this was conclusive evidence that the publishers were and acting together to fix prices on particular books , the DOJ wouldn't be in settlement negotiations. Its the ONLY piece of evidence that indicates collusion.
There are lots of industry wide agreements out there in countless industries. Are they all evidence of collusion?
