Jobs, of course, never did any such thing. He suggested to the book publishers that they adopt a tiered model similar to the iTunes music store. The book publishers turned that down. |

Which is why it was a textbook case of collusion. And the point -- again -- is that Apple is not denying what they did (which is an anti-trust violation) they're just trying to justify it.

The point is that whither or not what Apple did is illegal depends if you use the per se definition of anti-trust as Cote did, or you use the rule of reason definition of anti-trust, as the Supreme Court instructed in Leegan. In anti-trust, your market position is extremely important. Apple had no market position since they had not entered into the market yet.
