Apple Is Growing Rotten To The Core, And It’s Likely AT&T’s Fault

Mirriam-Webster disagrees in that collude necessary implies illegality:

Collude: Definition: conspire, plot <colluded to keep prices high>

Collusion: Definition: secret agreement or cooperation, especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose.

Indeed. I intended to convey a secret cooperation that is not beneficial to their customers.

I didn't say that it was illegal; I said it implied it. I'm not sure how much more firmly it can be said so I'll just repeat what you already pasted: _especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose_

I really look forward to the day when HN's free-market, all-government-intervention-is-evil ideologues finally collide with the "I don't like what Apple did, so it should be outlawed" brigade.

I shall bring popcorn.
