What a nonsensical comment... Between your baseless, fairy tale, misrepresentation and spin about the case and the US Department of Justice and the European Union take on it, my guess would be that most unbiased and intellectually honest people -not Tallest Skil- give more credibility to the latter...
Here, one point from the wiki article you linked to and quoted:-
"they viewed Amazon's price discounting as a substantial challenge to their traditional business model."
At this point in time, Apple did not have a "traditional eBook pricing model", in fact they had no model as they were yet to enter the eBook market and they had no involvement in the setting of prices, apart from a clause ensuring that the prices that publishers set remained competitive with other eBook sellers.
Hence the absence of Apple as regards to "price fixing".
Watch as the DoJ throws a whole heap more of taxpayer's money into a big hole of nothing.
A major flaw in your post, which renders it useless.
If this gets to court Apple will be exonerated because, quite simply they were not involved in price fixing in any form.
That's why the article is speaking of settlement on Apple behalf: we are well past recognition and Apple is the one wanting to avoid being spanked in courts... I will let the usual people in their scary parallel world...

Accused is not equal to guilty.

How will it get to court if Apple settled?

Did you read the post my post was in response to?
It involved a Wikipedia article regarding the DoJ case in the US, my response was in regard to Sensi's comments on that situation.
Context.

So why haven't Apple settled in the US?
Ahh gotcha. I jumped the gun. Apologies.
