Apple Duels With U.S. Over E-Book Price-Fixing Remedies
This article is for subscribers only.
Apple Inc. and the U.S. Justice Department filed dueling proposals for a court order that will cover the company’s conduct in e-book sales after a judge found the government’s original recommendations were too harsh.
Under the department’s revised proposal filed today, an injunction against Apple for its role in fixing e-book prices would expire in five years instead of 10 as in the original plan. The U.S. still seeks a court-appointed external antitrust monitor, a measure Apple objects to.
