Apple Sued For Conspiracy To Rig Book Prices

[From article]
"Apple and six large book publishers have been sued in Manhattan federal court, charged with conspiring to fix the price of e-books.
The lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, claims the price-fixing boosted the price of e-books, in certain instances, to $16.99 from $9.99 in less than a year."
