U.S Justice Department to sue Apple and five others for price fixing e-books.
 
The U.S Justice Department is warning Apple Inc. and five major publishers that it is about to sue them for allegedly colluding to fix the prices of e-books.

As if they have nothing better to do.....

This could be a catch 22. The companies not involved in collusion and price-fixing can now raise prices to what the other guys did and have total plausible deniability. I'm guessing Apple doesn't have much of a lobbying or PAC operation in DC (yet). They certainly will get it up and running after this case, just like Microsoft did after their court spanking in 2000.

Oh, no, and there's no other way to read books, either! :eek:
