Corey Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Judge Denise Cote of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has set the date for Apple’s eBook antitrust trial, Reuters reported. The Department of Justice filed an antitrust suit against the Cupertino-based company and five other major book publishers — Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan and Penguin — in April that alleged the companies were conspiring to fix eBook prices.
