Eddie Cue also admitted that Apple (Steve Jobs) was considering making a deal with Amazon to divide the market. He would offer Amazon that if they stay out of the music business then Apple would stay out of the ebook business. They obviously didn't think that antitrust laws applied to them. The claim that they did nothing wrong is laughable.
