Apple and Amazon's Antitrust Antics
APPLE AND AMAZON’S ANTITRUST ANTICS: TWO WRONGS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT, BUT MAYBE THEY SHOULD Kerry Gutknecht‡ I. INTRODUCTION The exploding market for books of all kinds in the form of digital files (“e- books”), which can be read on mobile devices and personal computers, has attracted aggressive competition between the two leading online e-book retail- ers, Amazon, Inc. (“Amazon”) and Apple Inc. (“Apple”).1 While both Amazon and Apple have been accused by critics of engaging in anticompetitive practic- es with regard to e-book sales,2 the U.S. Department of Justice has focused on Apple. In 2012, federal prosecutors brought an antitrust suit against Apple and five of the nation’s largest book publishers—HarperCollins Publishers LLC (“HarperCollins”), Hachette Book Group, Inc. and Hachette Digital (“Hachette”); Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC d/b/a Macmillan (“Macmillan”); Penguin Group (USA), Inc. (“Penguin”); and Simon & Schuster, Inc. and (“Simon & Schuster”) (collectively, the “Publisher Defendants”)3—for collud- ing in violation of the Sherman Act to raise the retail prices of e-books.4 Each ‡ J.D. Candidate, May 2014, The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law. The author would like to thank Calla Brown for her daily support and the CommLaw Conspectus staff for their diligent effort during the writing and editing process. Finally, a special thanks to Antonio F. Perez for providing expert advice during the writing of this paper. 1 Complaint at 2–3, United States v. Apple Inc., 952 F. Supp. 2d 638 (S.D.N.Y. 2013) (No. 12 CV 2826) [hereinafter Complaint]. -
