Oakland Courthouse
Apple, threatened by Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader, agreed with the publishers News Corp’s HarperCollins Publishers unit and four other major publishers to announce a so-called agency model according to the lawsuit , filed by Hagens Berman law firm in federal court in Oakland, California.
They are accused for conspiracy to raise e-book prices, which might be an anticompetitive conduct, likely in tens of millions of dollars.
Not too bad – at least for the law firm.
