After the cone of silence for the last few days, an Apple spokesperson commented on the antitrust lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice against the company and several publishers. Peter Kafka of AllThingsD posted this statement from Apple’s Tom Neumayr:

The DOJ’s accusation of collusion against Apple is simply not true. The launch of the iBookstore in 2010 fostered innovation and competition, breaking Amazon’s monopolistic grip on the publishing industry. Since then customers have benefited from eBooks that are more interactive and engaging. Just as we’ve allowed developers to set prices on the App Store, publishers set prices on the iBookstore.
