Thank you for admitting that the Apple conspiracy worked to raise ebook prices.
I never said that eBook prices would not or did not rise. I said that overall eBook prices went DOWN as a result of the breaking of the blocking of competition because of Amazon's monopolistic blocking of anyone substantial entering the eBook market.
Again, you show your total ignorance of economics.
it is obvious you did not even bother to read the dissenting option by Justice Dennis Jacobs, or you wouldn't be making such stupid statements. He gets it and explains it from a CONSERVATIVE and LEGAL vies as well as an ECONOMIC view point.
The natural result of breaking any longstanding price fixing by a monopolist which keeps prices artificially low is that they will RISE to their natural price levels. It does not require a "conspiracy" to do it. It merely requires the entry of a competitor who is willing to break the monopoly. YOU are totally ignorant of what you are talking about and don't have a clue about economics.
