DoJ Files Motion Asking for Court Approval of E-book Agreement by Jim Milliot

As expected, the Department of Justice late Friday filed a motion with Judge Denise Cote asking her to approve the final judgment that the government reached with Hachette, Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins in the DoJ lawsuit that charged the three with colluding with Apple to fix e-book prices. There are still several more steps to go before Judge Cote rules on the agreement, but the motions once again detail what actions the DoJ expects the publishers to take and a schedule for when those actions need to be implemented.
