A federal appeals court on Wednesday upheld Apple Inc’s $450 million settlement of claims that it harmed consumers by conspiring with five publishers to raise e-book prices.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected a challenge by e-books purchaser John Bradley to the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of Apple’s class-action antitrust settlement with consumers and 33 state attorneys general.
Looks like this could be the final word on the e-book antitrust class-action lawsuit.
You mean the Apple e-book extortion case
Not the final word. This court decision upheld the settlement of claims which is STILL conditional on the guilty verdict which is being appealed to the supreme court. So this is second-to-final word.
More and more, I feel that Apple needs to consider moving to a tech friendly country.
Foreign companies can still be sued under anti-trust violations (see: MSFT and GOOG in Europe).
