The Leegin ruling basically says that vertical markets can not be found to be per se guilty under the Sherman anti-trust act. Under that ruling the Justice Department would have to prove that Apple knowing conspired to restrain trade, as opposed to a per se claim by the Justice Department, which says that Apple is guilt merely by negotiating with the various publishers. It really is the heart of the Justice Department's case and the real heart of Apple's appeal.
