The last time you mentioned this in the thread, I pointed out that Cote already covered it when she wrote that even if the evidence did not support a per se violation, the case would come out the same under the rule of reason standard, because Apple cannot show any pro-competitive effect of the publisher agreements. I guess you either ignored it or dismissed it with a wave of your hand.
