"The 10th Circuit doesn't always make transcripts available"?
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 06 2013 @ 10:16 PM EDT
This line makes me curious, I was under the impression that unless there was a
strong need for privacy that transcripts had to be released to the public in the
US. Is this impression wrong or is there something I am missing in this trial
that would allow them to do otherwise?

The Novell v. Microsoft Hearing at the 10th Circuit - Eyewitness Report ~pj
Authored by: Ian Al on Tuesday, May 07 2013 @ 05:02 AM EDT
I didn't remember that 'it is clear that Gibb's testimony is a mere scintilla'. If you read Novell v. Microsoft Trial Transcripts - Day 7, Oct. 26, 2011 (Gibb) you will see that it was Word Perfect which was the OS competitor and that Quattro Pro development was largely complete before the developers started leaving.

Tulchin repeatedly tries to assert that Novell knew that the APIs were subject to change and that Novell should not have relied upon them. That does rather question the point in developing for the new Windows 95 at all.

Tulchin also said that Novell had declared that they were not using the namespace extensions. Boise is right on the money with his rebuttle.

I have not read Trinko or Aspen Skiing, but I suspect that they miss the point about middleware. Microsoft invited a middleware competitor to its Windows OS to develop the WordPerfect application on the new APIs. Microsoft did not have to help a competitor, but they chose to help and then withdraw that help to destroy the middleware competition.

It will be interesting to see if the appeal court notes these points in their opinions.

Prenda hammered: Judge sends porn-trolling lawyers to criminal investigators
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, May 07 2013 @ 11:51 AM EDT
Arstechnica article is pretty good.

Judge Wright really brought the hammer down. He was not amused by the Prenda lawyers' attempt to weasel around his orders and escape responsibility for using the courts as part of their settlement-extortion scheme.

Arstechnica has lots of previous articles about Prenda and their weird antics in court (like pleading the 5th Amendment instead of answering direct inquiries from the court).
