If you missed the countless articles on HN about the anti-poaching collusion case in which Apple, Google and other companies were implicated, this article provides a good overview:
Apple and Google’s wage-fixing involved dozens more companies, over 1M employees
Not really, this case has long provided ample evidence that it was/is rampant and completely overt amongst the inner circle of CEOs in the Valley. It's actually quite centered around Steve Jobs, which means we're never going to get the high drama that something of this magnitude deserves.
It's not an entirely fair comparison b/c in animation there are only a few options, while in software there are tons of midsized companies to choose from. If Apple, Google, M$ and Amazon decided they will all cap salaries at 90K, people would just go elsewhere b/c they have that option.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's happening for the $250K+ jobs though
