No, the average price of eBooks had dropped BEFORE the true monopolist and predatory pricing offender, Amazon filed its complaint with the DOJ. That's the real absurdity of this case. The monopolist and real offender who used predatory pricing files a complaint with the government that THEIR monopoly position was damaged by the entry of a competitor that resulted more competition which consequently demonstrably provided LOWER overall pricing, MORE choices, better quality, and a healthier eBook and hard back publishing industry for consumers.
Uh, you are ignoring the graph that showed a jump up in prices IMMEDIATELY upon completion of the conspiracy.
1. Apple engaged in a conspiracy to raise prices and
2. Prices went up drastically, IMMEDIATELY.
