kindle ibooks

After obtaining 868 public comments on its inspection of possible ebook cost correcting, the United States Department of Justice has reacted (PDF) with extreme words for Apple and major publishers, saying that it will continue with the case and settlements as planned. While repeating many of its original claims, it also argued against its critics, particularly those who believe ebook vendors and publishers were responding to monopolistic behavior by Amazon. Antitrust laws were “enacted to shield competitors, not opponents,” the statement states, characterizing the complaints of Apple and others as “self-serving.”

While the Justice Department preserves that it discovered evidence of predatory behavior by Amazon “lacking,” it states that such behavior …

AUO, LG, Toshiba pay $571 million to settle LCD price fixing lawsuit, broken record keeps skipping

AU Optronics 71-inch 3D LCD

The way LCD cost fixing suits keep appearing and settling in short order, you ‘d think they were going out of design. The current motley group to face a reckoning consists of AU Optronics, LG and Toshiba, the combo of which has actually agreed to pay a sum total of $ 571 million to eight separate American states to either stay clear of the the legal wrath of a class action lawsuit or to pay a superior fine. Presumably, the triad kept LCD costs artificially high between 1996 and 2006, hiking the rates of Computers and TVs in the process. There’s a small twist right here: while keeping the display builders honest is the primary goal, the class action status will net some direct benefits for everyone. Americans who declare to have actually been misrepresented in the scandal can get “at the very least” $ 25, which goes a whole lot further towards purchasing an LCD than it did 6 years ago.

Report: HP’s South Korean offices raided over alleged price fixing

Korea Times is a publication that isn’t shy of the odd bold statement and today it’s claiming that HP’s South Korean offices were raided on suspicion of price-fixing deals made with IBM and Oracle. The country’s Fair Trade Commission seized documents, computer records and questioned employees over alleged price-rigging on public-sector contracts. A company spokesperson said that the visit was routine, while FTC officers refused to comment about ongoing matters, but what is clear is that if any wrong-doing is found, the case will be turned over to prosecutors with the aim of commencing criminal proceedings for those responsible.

Apple says e-book price fixing charges ‘simply not true,’ Macmillan also responds

Apple says e-book price fixing charges

Not that we were expecting Apple and Macmillan to simply fess up and say, “you’re right, totally tried to circumvent the free market,” but both companies have come out swinging pretty hard against the allegations of price fixing. Apple has rejected the charges, calling them “simply not true.” A company spokesman, Tom Neumayr, went so far as to tell Reuters that Cupertino was actually fostering competition by “breaking Amazon’s monopolistic grip on the publishing industry.” John Sargent, the CEO of Macmillan, defended his company’s behavior in blog post, saying the publisher had done nothing illegal and that the concessions sought by the DOJ in settlement negotiations were “too onerous.” It looks like the next step for both is to face off with the US government in court — a daunting task, no matter how large your war chest.
