More
than three years after his death, legendary Apple Inc CEO Steve Jobs
held a federal courtroom transfixed on Friday as attorneys played a
video of his testimony in a class-action lawsuit that accuses Apple of
inflating prices by locking music lovers into using Apple's iPod
players.

Looking gaunt and pale, Jobs spoke softly during the deposition he gave
six months before his death in October 2011. But he gave a firm defense
of Apple's software, which blocked music from services that competed
with Apple's iTunes store.

"We
were very scared" of the prospect that hackers could break Apple's
security system, Jobs said, because that might jeopardize Apple's
contracts with music recording companies that didn't want their songs to
be pirated. "We would get nasty emails from the labels," he added.

But
Jobs didn't seem cowed by the record labels in an email, read by an
attorney for the plaintiffs, in which the Apple CEO demanded that a
record company executive publicly apologize for praising rival
RealNetworks for producing software that would make songs from the
RealNetworks store play on Apple's iPods.

Dressed in his trademark black turtleneck and blue jeans, Jobs appeared
impatient at times and swiveled in his chair during the session, which
was recorded at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California. He said
he didn't remember why he was upset with the recording executive. But he
acknowledged that he had proposed language for an Apple press release
that condemned RealNetworks as a "hacker."
