Well, that's the argument to the Supreme Court.
"Yes, we colluded to fix prices BUT we did it for a good business reason, and we're asking you to make an exception to the general rule"
That's how the defendant won in the
Leegin case. Now will the Supreme Court buy this in a case where there is not one supplier, but a group of suppliers acting in concert? Dunno. Possible, though.
