DoJ investigators are said to be asking major music labels and Internet music companies about allegations that Apple had pressured some industry members to deny Amazon.com from exclusive access to music prior to its general release, according to an article in The New York Times. This follows allegations in the music industry trade magazine Billboard back in March regarding Apple’s tactics.
