September in ein nicht/öffentliches umzuwandeln. Erinnert sich noch wer an die zahllosen MedienZirkusGalas anlässlich der Präsentationen gewisser Betriebssysteme? -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- -.-.- --.- Redmond fights access issue By Corey Grice Staff Writer, CNET NEWS.COM August 17, 1998, 12:35 p.m. Microsoft lawyers today reiterated their concern that the presence of the press and public at pretrial depositions for the landmark antitrust lawsuit against the company would turn into "a media circus, causing both delay and disruption." Their argument, made in documents filed today with the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, is not a new one, but rather is the latest salvo in an ongoing battle over public access to government questioning of Microsoft chief executive Bill Gates and other top executives at the company. ... Today's filing represents the last hurdle before a three-judge panel can rule on the lower court's order. U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled that the media has a right to sit in on the proceedings under a rarely invoked 85-year-old law. In response, Microsoft described the order as "simply unworkable" and "bound to result in significant delay." ... Lawyers for Microsoft wrote today in their filing--which largely amounts to a mere legal formality--that the company will be "irreparably injured" as a result unless the higher court issues a stay. "It is hard enough to prepare for trial in less than four months in a major antitrust case without having to accommodate scores of members of the public and press at each deposition," Microsoft lawyers said. ... In order to protect its trade secrets, Microsoft has suggested that the public and the media view edited videotapes of the depositions--or read edited transcripts of them--after they have been conducted. The company said edited videotapes "would still represent unprecedented access public access to pretrial discovery materials." .... The trial is slated to start September 8, but the parties involved reportedly are exploring the possibility of a delay of up to two weeks.
