Sure, let's discuss the article. PW mentions the part about Apple adding the pointless statement about Amazon/Hachette:

In an interesting footnote, Apple attorneys refer to Amazon’s current terms dispute with Hachette, noting that “in the wake of the injunction restricting Apple’s lawful activities, Amazon reportedly continues to exert market power over the publishers by refusing to sell books if they do not agree to its terms.”

Then PW added this remark:

(Of course, Apple reportedly did the same thing to Random House, alllegedly threatening to reject Random House apps from the App Store if Random House did not agree to sign an agency deal for e-books, which it eventually did, in 2011.)

Calling Apple out for "allegedly" doing something similar to Random House, skates very close to mockery (for PW, at least).
