U-Michal Ždanský Inyanga ngaphambi kokuqala kwecala lapho izifundazwe ezingama-33 zase-US zazizomangalela i-Apple ngesivumelwano senkampani okuthiwa yasenza nabashicileli ukuze senze buthaka isikhundla se-Amazon futhi inyuse amanani e-ebook, inkampani yafinyelela esivumelwaneni nomshushisi. Izinhlangothi zombili zavumelana ngesivumelwano esingaphandle kwenkantolo, lapho u-Apple ebhekene nenhlawulo efinyelela ku-$840 million uma icala lilahlekile.
Imininingwane yesivumelwano kanye nenani elizokhokhwa yi-Apple akwaziwa, phela inani ayikanqunywa. Njengamanje u-Apple usalinde ukuqulwa kwecala elisha ngemuva kokuphikisa isinqumo seJaji uDenise Cote. Ngo-2012, wafakazela iqiniso eMnyangweni Wezobulungisa WaseMelika, owasola u-Apple ngesivumelwano senqola nabashicileli bezincwadi abahlanu abakhulu e-US. Ngisho nangaphambi kokugwetshwa kukaCote, ummeli-jikelele ubefuna u-$280 million enkampanini yaseCalifornia ngomonakalo odalwe kumakhasimende, kodwa le mali yaphindeka kathathu ngemuva kwesinqumo.
Umphumela wenkantolo yokudlulisa amacala ongachitha isigwebo sokuqala sikaDenise Cote ungase unciphise kakhulu inani lesinqumo esikhishwe ngaphandle kwenkantolo. Noma iyiphi indlela, ngesivumelwano, i-Apple izogwema ukuqulwa kwecala, obekufanele kwenzeke ngoJulayi 14, kanye nesinxephezelo esingaba yizigidi ezingama-840. Ukukhokhelwa ngaphandle kwenkantolo kuzohlala kushibhe enkampanini, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uthini umphumela wenkantolo yokudlulisa amacala. I-Apple isaqhubeka nokuphika ukuthi ibambe iqhaza ozungu lokudala inqola kanye nokwenyusa intengo yama-e-books.
