This is of course, totally not true. What the judge actually said was that per se rules does not apply in this case. The other two judges said they should. Per se means that a specific action is automatically illegal. If you do not apply per se, then you have to show that Apple's actions harmed competition, something that is pretty difficult to do given Amazon's 90% of the market position at the time. One would assume this will be appealed to the Supreme Court since the ruling doesn't match the most recent ruling by the Supreme Court.
