They better hope they win the appeal or the thirty or so states that will press for damages are going to make a largish hole in the bank balance.

Yes but does anyone think that they would have destroyed Amazon by offering the same content at higher prices? While Apple would get their commission the publishers would have been the real winners. The benefits for Apple are that it gives iPad users another reason to buy an iPad.

Legal scholars opined that Apple Inc. has a slim chance to overturn the decision of the court that it was guilty of conspiracy with publishers to fix the prices of e-books and eliminate competition in the market, according to John Paczkowski of AllThingsD...

Pam Samuelson, the Richard M. Sherman Distinguished Professor of Law and Information at the University of California, Berkeley also opined that undertaking the appeal could be a daunting one for Apple Inc. .
“Apple may have a tough time getting this ruling reversed because the judge made findings of fact about the antitrust violation that appellate courts typically defer to. Most reversals happen as to interpretations of the law,” said Samuelson
