Apple Guilty of E-Book Price Fixing

Have you been following this story? I have and it seems that Apple has been found guilty of colluding with book publishers to raise prices for e-books, according to a federal judge. This, in a decision that will affect how books are sold online. 

"The Department of Justice accused the companies of banding together to keep ebooks above Amazon's rock-bottom discounts and chip away at its Kindle-fueled runaway lead in the ebook market. To do so, they relied on an agency model, which allowed publishers — not retailers — to set prices."  Click here to read more about this decision here from Theverge.com.
