During the course of the trial Jobs had played a significant part in the antitrust trial.  Even after his death his voice echoed in the court room as the deposition  that was recorded almost 6 months prior to his death was played. 

Jobs reiterated Apple's statement that latter was protecting the companies digital music systems from being hacked and also safeguarding its contracts with music labels. 

A report in the Wall Street Journal stated Jobs saying that: There are lots of hackers trying to hack into these things so they can do things that would put us in non-compliance with the contracts we have with the music companies. And we were very scared of that.

In the deposition Jobs was seen wearing his signature black turtle neck and asserted that because the company would get nasty e-mails from record labels and that the company could get sued, it was important to protect  iTunes.

The action suit is worth $350 million in damages to plaintiffs.
