Time offers more on the industry “push back” against the Department of Justice’s anti-trust lawsuit against Apple and its gang of price-fixing publishers. Apparently, connected individuals want the DOJ to drop the suit.
It amazes me that Apple, the implicated publishers and their political cronies are actually trying to sell the “we’re doing it for your own good” excuse. This publishing cartel suggests that they are only robbing us now with their agency model of pricing to keep industry leader Amazon from robbing us in the future.
It is unbelievable that they can present this absurd argument, and it hints at the arrogant and criminal thinking behind the price-fixing scheme.
Do they think we’re stupid? Robin Hood did not steal from the rich to pay for his Porsche.
