Apple violated antitrust laws by colluding with publishers to raise electronic book prices when it entered a market in 2010 that had been dominated by Amazon, a divided federal appeals court panel said Tuesday.

The appeals court also agreed that U.S. District Judge Denise Cote was right to order injunctive relief to ensure the Cupertino-based company didn’t commit additional violations of antitrust laws.
In a statement, Apple said the ruling did nothing to change the fact that it did not conspire to fix e-book pricing.
