Apple asks a court to stop telling it what to do

Jobs' Mob has been channelling Amanda Knox and insisting that it does not have to be punished for breaking the law.

Apple has been found guilty of running a cartel with publishers which aimed to push up the price of ebooks. The judge ordered an antitrust monitor to be appointed to Apple to help educate it how to avoid screwing its customers by illegal means ever again.

However Apple whined to the court that since it never believed that it had done anything wrong in the first place, having an outsider telling it what to do was annoying.

Apple urged a federal appeals court on Tuesday to put a court-appointed antitrust monitor on hold, arguing that his efforts were harming the company's business and stopping it screwing over customers, er coming up with new ideas for products.

The iPhone maker asked the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in New York to halt monitor Michael Bromwich's work while the court considers Apple's bid to remove him altogether, a process that could last several months.
