Investigation into Online Music Price Fixing?

According to the article, the Justice Department has already issued two subpoenas with more in the works. A spokesperson for the Justice Department commented on their actions:

While details are scarce, the investigation may somehow be connected to Apple's re-negotiations with the record industry. Apple's previous terms with the record labels reportedly run out in "early 2006".
