RealNetworks opposes move of antitrust trial
SeattlePI | at | by Mike
RealNetworks filed court papers opposing Microsoft's effort to move the streaming-media company's antitrust suit against the Redmond company from San Jose to Seattle.
RealNetworks disputed Microsoft's allegations that it chose San Jose as the venue to tap a more favorable jury pool. RealNetworks also presented a long list of California-based companies and people -- including executives from Apple Computer and Sun Microsystems -- that it may call as witnesses.
Microsoft had said that both companies are based in Seattle, making it a more logical and convenient venue.
