> No, agency model gave LESS revenue to publishers Why would publishers ask for an agency model if it earned them less money?

This is the the difference between you and me, I have read a lot about the case. You don't know anything about it. You don't know that with the wholesale model, publishers earned more from ebooks than with the agency model. And you don't know why they prefer to earn leass with the new model. Please, read about the case before posting uninformed thing like you have being doing in all your posts.

> Your last sentence above, "Because if a majority of publishers" runs together. Perhaps I misunderstood what you said

Yes, you have misunderstood, and it was very lear,. All the publishers together were able to force the other stores to the agency model with the threatening of pulling the books

> The difference between us is, for you, Apple is guilty, period

No, the difference is that different courts have found guilty Apple, period.

You're the one saying that all the courts are wrong without any evidence of it, just because you don't like the outcome.
