Apple Loses Legal Battle over e-Book Pricing Collusion

Judge says Apple conspired to raise prices on e-books

The New York Times augmented the initial story on the judge's ruling, revisiting the trial and reviewing events of the trial.

The Justice Department said the judge’s decision was a victory for people who buy e-books.

“Companies cannot ignore the antitrust laws when they believe it is in their economic self-interest to do so,” the Justice Department said in a statement. “This decision by the court is a critical step in undoing the harm caused by Apple’s illegal actions.” 

It is as yet unclear what this ruling will mean for readers and writers.
