Napster Hires Gov't Lawyer Who Ran MS Case
from the fighting-the-big-battles dept
David Boies, who was the government's lead attorney during the Microsoft trial, is apparently joining Napster. I think it's an odd move. He definitely brings some publicity to the case, and you have to assume he's a pretty good lawyer. However, despite what he did in the MS trial, I don't think he knows much about technology at all.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
