I'll give you a hint, it's one of the big [SIZE=28px]SIX[/SIZE] publishers whose name starts with R H and wasn't involved in this case at all.
Try and keep up.
ROFL! Random House signed up later and hence not part of the lawsuit. They are allowed to keep selling their ebooks in iBookstore under the agency model. Penguin settle fast with DOJ because of the upcoming merger. What else do you need to know? Yup RH realllly rejected Apple!

Which is exactly the point I was making.
If you were paying any sort of attention you'd know that this case involves events leading up to Apple's introduction of iBooks and the iPad.
Hence the absence of Random House which shows that Apple was dealing with each publisher separately.
Why was the testimony allowed. Doesn't seem consistent with allowable hearsay rules of evidence. At best he heard others say Apple was pressuring. Now, he heard from others that they heard from others that they heard .....

Apple did nothing wrong and will be exonerated.
@Techboy
Each publisher did signed a different agreement with Apple.
Penguin was instructed to settle with DOJ and hence Random House which owned 53% of the merged company escaped scott free.
Would had been sued if they started selling ebooks on the first day and their 1 year lapse helped them too in addition to the merger.
You may not be correct. It appears Steve Jobs wanted the publishers to insist on an agency model with Amazon if Jobs was to sign off publisher agreements.

That particular draft isn't seen as helpful to Apple's claims of indifference. With Eddy Cue slated to testify Thursday it should be a big day.
