Geeze people, I know it's any stick to beat Apple with, but talk about over simplifying the legal issues. What the DOJ is demanding is that Apple blow up their business model, a model that is making a whole lot of money for a whole lot of people. Be careful what you wish for.

One would almost think that Amazon is dictating terms via the DOJ. One might even speculate that the $4.5 million that Amazon spent in campaign contributions and the $18 millions that Amazon spent on lobbying in Washington is starting to pay dividends. (note, those figures are just what Amazon, Inc is spending. It doesn't include what the individual Amazon execs spent)
