Not Comics: Apples Loses Major Decision Re: E-Book Price Fixing

Publishers Weekly has a reasonably concise write-up here on a court decision going against Apple for facilitating e-book price fixing in a series of move asserted generally to have been caused due to the portentous, Mordor-like shadow cast by Amazon.com's aggressive pricing strategies. It sounds like the evidence was such the legal play by Apple was to try and convince the court not to see it as a case that represented behavior so egregiously against the spirit of the law that motivation wouldn't be taken into account. The article predicts Apple will use legal means to put off having to pay various penalties despite there being little hope that the legal maneuvers themselves will work. I couldn't tell you exactly what this specifically means for comics, although the proximity and overlap issues here should be fairly apparent.
