The whole price-fixing conspiracy came about because Apple did not want to compete on price. It has shown no interest whatsoever in doing so since, and Agency would prevent it in any event.

@pwalker8. You seem to persist in this fantasy that the price-fixing conspirators somehow did not breach anti-trust law, despite the decision of a number of Courts and the denial of Cert by your Supreme Court. The circumstances have been described many times as a textbook case, and a particularly stupid one at that. If US anti-trust law didn't catch this one it may as well not exist. Apple would not have done any better had the "rule of reason" been applied. Their actions certainly amounted to an unreasonable restraint of trade and killed retail price competition on Big 6 books. You continue to avoid the question which FizzyWater again raises in the previous post.

The Court has made its decision, the correct one, and the Appeals are exhausted. Time to get over it and move on.
