After almost four years since all this meditative uproar happened related to the sale price of ebooks in the store iBooks Store, the Supreme Court has declared finally guilty, again to Apple, for the price pact that was created at that time with the publishers.
However, we are not facing a new resolution before the appeal that Apple has filed, but as everything is maintained, it is simply a ratification of the sentence that the Supreme Court imposed on those of Cupertino. They have thought it appropriate that they will not even admit the appeal that Apple has filed.
Back in 2012 is when all this "soap opera" began, whose main actors are Amazon and Apple. Back then it was Amazon that had a monopoly on the ebook market. That is why he had, by contract, that publishers could not set the prices of his books. However, Apple wanted to enter the market and after offering high rates of return to those publishers It seems that they agreed with those of Cupertino to fix prices, which resulted in a complaint that has reached these consequences.
At the time, the Supreme Court imposed a fine of 450 million dollars on Apple, of which 400 million were destined to returns to the buyers of the ebooks related to this plot, 20 million to the plaintiff states and 30 million more in legal fees.
As we can see, in the end the subject of the ebooks should be an episode to which The only thing Apple can do now is bury and pay what the Supreme Court has imposed.
