Once again, you can't fix prices if you aren't setting prices. Yes, I get that you hate Apple's walled garden and thus Apple is evil and should be punished. But look at the facts. Apple wasn't setting the prices, the prices didn't go up, there was zero evidence shown that Apple made any attempt to fix prices.

No that's not what I said. What I said was quite clear, so stop trying to put words in my mouth. What I said was you clearly don't understand. I'm done with you as well, we'll see what the judge has to say. I don't give a shit about Apple it has nothing to do with Apple hate, it has to do with corporate conspiracy and collusion which was certainly happening with the pricing and the attack on the ebook industry as a whole because Apple was late to the game and the publishers were (and still are) doing everything they can to block, control and maintain control of their dinosaur empires. And by settling the publishers have already admitted their guilt in the conspiracy. The judge will have the final say on Apple.
