> No, agency model gave LESS revenue to publishers Why would publishers ask for an agency model if it earned them less money? > What the heck has to do windowing with what I have said? Your last sentence above, "Because if a majority of publishers" runs together. Perhaps I misunderstood what you said. > It is clear that you have your opinion fixed on stone. I don't > It is a waste of time trying to discuss anything At this point I agree > For you Apple is innocent, period Not really. To me it seems Apple was a final piece to the puzzle and not a ring master. As I mentioned in another comment, I believe Apple ought to have known better about the risks of appearing like the master conspirator in this case. Apple ought to have known better about the risks, and it seems they could have launched this model, albeit slower, without such a concerted effort. The difference between us is, for you, Apple is guilty, period. For me, it isn't so obvious.

This is the the difference between you and me, I have read a lot about the case. You don't know anything about it. You don't know that with the wholesale model, publishers earned more from ebooks than with the agency model. And you don't know why they prefer to earn leass with the new model. Please, read about the case before posting uninformed thing like you have being doing in all your posts. > Your last sentence above, "Because if a majority of publishers" runs together. Perhaps I misunderstood what you said Yes, you have misunderstood, and it was very lear,. All the publishers together were able to force the other stores to the agency model with the threatening of pulling the books > The difference between us is, for you, Apple is guilty, period No, the difference is that different courts have found guilty Apple, period. You're the one saying that all the courts are wrong without any evidence of it, just because you don't like the outcome.
