DOJ Quotes Steve Jobs Bio in Opening Statement

By Jason Boog 

During its opening statement in U.S. v. Apple et al. today, the Department of Justice ran a slide show that opened with an excerpt from Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.

We’ve embedded the slide in question above–do you think the Isaacson biography helps show evidence that Apple and publishers were fixing eBook prices?

You can also see the DOJ’s charts illustrating price changes once major publishers began selling digital books at the same price across different marketplaces. Below, you can see the complete DOJ slideshow as a Scribd document.
