Actually they were not. They simply insisted that the individual publishers set the price rather than the reseller. This is very different than price fixing.

I would also point out that Apple presented evidence in court that the ebook prices actually went down across the board. It was only a select few (i.e. the best seller type books that Amazon was pricing at $9.99) that actually went up. This is part of their appeal.
