CUPERTINO, Calif., July 16 (UPI) -- Apple reached a $400 million settlement with 33 states for conspiring to fix e-book prices with publishers in order to dampen a sales program launched by Amazon.
Apple has continued to deny that it was part of any wrongdoing and that it will continue to fight the suit. The announcement was made by the New York attorney general's office that had announced last month that Apple and the other parties had reached a settlement in principle.
