Don't mistake opening or closing arguments with actual facts. That's just lawyers trying to sway the judge one way or the other.
Here is a report of the closing arguments from the same source. It seems to suggest that the DOJ failed to prove it's case. http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/...ntitrust-trial |

From your post I quoted, you seemed to be confused about what a conspiracy was? I thought the linked article gave a good example of what a (illegal) conspiracy could be. I didn't mean to imply that it was/wasn't what actually happened.

Nope, no confusion on my part what a conspiracy, illegal or no, is. Once again, don't confuse what is said in a lawyer's opening statement with reality in any way, shape or form. It's not uncommon for a lawyer to say that "I'm going to show that the defendant is the meanest SOB in the world who steals candy from babies and kicks cute little dogs" while having zero evidence of any such thing. At the end of the day, it comes down to if they can convince the judge or not.

Actually, a lawyer can be sanctioned for saying something in opening arguments that he cannot prove. You can certainly argue the facts, but you can't make stuff up.

The overview in the Salon article may be clear, but it provides that clarity at the expense of accuracy, and a clear explanation on a false foundation does no one any good. |

Business as usual Apple.
Two different conspiracies outed in barely over a year. More to come, now. Let the apologists' whining begin. Here is cnet's report: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-575...-books-prices/ Quote:

I linked to the full ruling in the earlier thread, but this one seems to be getting more traction, so forgive me for posting it here too:

Anyone else having difficulty? It's working for me from a Chromebook which has no mechanism for having an Adobe ID.
The link was from this Gizmodo article: http://gizmodo.com/apple-guilty-of-p...xing-730018979 Graham |
