Please stop trying to insinuate that the agency model is on trial... it's not. It's about all of them coming up with a plan to affect prices together.

Look,you are right- the the DOJ is arguing not against agency model itself.
What the DOJ is arguing is that Apple and the BPH 5 entered into conspiracy to raise prices-AND THAT THEY USED THE AGENCY MODEL- and the MFN clause-to enforce it. Clear now?
