Title: DoJ May Foil Apple, Publishers' E-Book Pricing Plot Post by: HCK on March 09, 2012, 03:00:54 am DoJ May Foil Apple, Publishers' E-Book Pricing Plot
The United States Justice Department is reportedly investigating Apple and five of the largest U.S. publishers, accusing the companies of colluding to control the price of electronic books. The five publishing companies facing DoJ action include Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group; Penguin Group (USA); Macmillan; and HarperCollins. Several of the parties reportedly have held talks to settle the antitrust case and avoid a potentially damaging court battle. http://www.macnewsworld.com/rsstory/74597.html |
