Amazon wanted to sell new e-books for $9.99. The book publishers were not happy with that idea, so the six largest publishers met with Apple, which agreed to price the books at $14.99 and $19.99. The publishers refused to work with Amazon. Apple was convicted of a conspiracy to raise e-book prices in violation of the Sherman Act. The appeals court held that Apple:
A) conspired to raise e-book prices but the market was not impacted so there were no damages.
B) conspired to raise e-book prices and was liable under a rule of reason analysis.
C) was not liable as the six publishers brought the idea to Apple, so the publishers were liable.
D) was not liable because there was no evidence that its plans ever took effect or impacted the market.
E) none of the other choices are correct.
