Law Librarian Blog: Some Thoughts on the DOJ Lawsuit Against Apple and the Publishers

Mark Giangrande:

Law Librarian Blog: Some Thoughts on the DOJ Lawsuit Against Apple and the Publishers http://t.co/nrAR8jB5...

 

[...]"Apple simply doesn’t want to get into a pricing war with Amazon. The most favored nation clause in Apple's contract with publishers was a way to avoid that and preserve book sales on the iOS platform. As Google plans to create Android tablets, and as Microsoft’s Metro tablets and phones penetrate the market, so will their stores. These billion dollar entities can decide whether they want a price war on digital goods to promote their platforms. That’s the marketing world the publishers face. It’s time they should get used to it. Consumers are buying Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Content, sadly, is secondary."
