The information on Groklaw is not intended to constitute legal advice.
While Mark is a lawyer and he has asked other lawyers and law students to contribute articles, all of these articles are offered to help educate, not to provide specific legal advice.
They are not your lawyers.
Here is our local copy of the 1998 depositions of Bill Gates in the US Justice Department's antitrust litigation against Microsoft. Here are some transcripts of that litigation.
Daily transcripts in Comes v. Microsoft are
here.
And exhibits are here.
We did our best to convert the original Windows Media files into an Open format, ogg. Your webmaster is responsible for the video transcoding, the audio-only files are contributed by a Groklaw member that requested to stay anonymous.
I recommend that you download the entire file when you want to view them... Streaming might work if your "pipe" is big enough: ~2 Mbit/s for the hires files and 512 kbit/s for the lowres video.
If you're interested what I did... it started with emerge ffmpeg2theora and I'm glad that what I have looks decent at a first glance; I am no transcoding expert! -- MathFox
Update: For those having trouble, you can also now find the deposition, in six parts, here. Also, the Washington Post has transcripts and video excerpts beginning here. You can also now find the deposition on YouTube and on Google Video. Groklaw has a dedicated permanent page for the video and other videos and transcripts from the trial here.
Google Video permits us to embed the video as flash, so here are parts 1-3 -- the rest you can find there or on YouTube:
