Justice Department proposes sweeping punishments against Apple
August 3, 2013 /
The Justice Department on Friday proposed sweeping punishments to Apple for illegally conspiring with publishers to lift e-book prices, asking a federal judge to pry open the firm’s lucrative apps store for competitors and keep a close watch on its practices in movies, music and other business lines.
If the government’s recommendations are adopted, an iPhone or iPad user could directly buy e-books from the Amazon Kindle or Barnes and Noble Nook apps — a practice now blocked by Apple.
