Apple violated antitrust laws by colluding with publishers to raise electronic book prices when it entered a market that had been dominated by Amazon.com, a divided federal appeals court panel found Tuesday. A three-judge panel of the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-to-1 that a lower-court correctly found Apple violated the law. The U.S. Justice Department and 33 states and territories, including Tennessee, sued Apple and five publishers. WSMV has this story from the Associated Press.
