antoinef on 13 Dec 13"Federal Judge Jed Rakoff has dismissed a lawsuit filed by independent booksellers against Amazon and the big six publishers that alleged a murky conspiracy to restrain trade via Amazon's use of proprietary DRM in its Kindle e-reading platform. In his 18-page decision tossing the suit, Rakoff found that the booksellers' core claim-that the publishers had engaged in a conspiracy with Amazon to keep rivals from selling e-books on the Kindle-had no supporting evidence, and no plausible motive."
