Apple's response to the suit and settlement is being called "self-serving."

The US Department of Justice says it plans to move forward with its proposed settlement with some e-book publishers, despite the "self-serving" comments submitted by Apple. In a 64-page response(PDF) to the comments it received on the settlement, the DoJ reiterated its reasons for suing Apple and publishers, accusing Apple of continuing to offer solutions that are "contrary to the public interest." That's a no-no, even if the old system pushed by Amazon was a "monopoly."
