苹果被指操纵电子书价格
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]Apple conspired with publishers to fix the price of electronic books, a US judge has ruled.[/b][/size][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]一位美国法官裁定，苹果公司涉嫌与出版商密谋操纵电子书的价格。[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Manhattan Judge Denise Cote said the iPad maker "conspired to restrain trade".[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]But the firm's spokesman, Tom Neumayr, said [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/93333.html]Apple[/url] would appeal against the ruling and fight "false allegations".[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Five publishers that were originally named as defendants alongside Apple have already reached settlements, including Penguin.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The judge ordered a new hearing to determine damages to be imposed on Apple.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The US Department of Justice said the conspiracy was designed to challenge online retailer Amazon's dominance of the fast-growing e-books market.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Penguin settled its case for $75m. Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster created a $69m fund for refunds to consumers, while Macmillan settled for $26m.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Judge Cote said: "The plaintiffs have shown that the publisher defendants conspired with each other to eliminate retail price competition in order to raise [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/93333.html]e-book[/url] prices, and that Apple played a central role in facilitating and executing that conspiracy.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"Without Apple's orchestration of this conspiracy, it would not have succeeded as it did in the spring of 2010," she said.[/size][/font]
