Apple And Price Fixing
Chalk this up to ‘I called it.’ It seems the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Department of Justice will soon sue Apple and major publishers for colluding to raise eBook prices. Apple? Price fixing? Boy, I would never guess that. Ok, sarcasm over. Seriously, are we just beginning to truly look at all [...]
