Bill am Grill: Video erneut gefordert 
Nach der New Times & anderen Medien, deren Ansuchen 
gerichtlich abgeschmettert ward, tritt nun ein prominenter 
(ex)Richter für mehr Video/öffentlichkeit ein. Das 
Video/testimonial von Bill Gates, sagt Robert Bork, sei 
deshalb deshalb öffentlich zu machen, weil Kartellklagen 
laut Statuten öffentlich zu führen seien.

Darryl K. Taft 
10/02/98 4:16 a.m. ET A prominent former judge and current 
consultant to Netscape called for the public release of 
Microsoft chairman Bill Gates' videotaped pretrial testimony 
to the U.S. Department of Justice. 
... 
Although a protective order issued by the judge presiding 
over the case where the Justice Department and 20 states 
have sued Microsoft (company profile) restricts the release 
of proprietary information, Bork said Gates' testimony -- at 
least the parts involving nonconfidential material -- should 
be released.  
 
"Statutes clearly say depositions in antitrust cases must be 
public," Bork said in a statement. "Surely Mr. Gates is not 
suggesting he is above the law."  
 
Prior to Gates' deposition, attorneys for a group of media 
organizations, including The New York Times and The Seattle 
Times, filed motions to open Gates and other Microsoft 
officials' testimony to the media and the public. The court 
ruled against the so-called interveners.  
... 
Bork added Microsoft's attorneys are trying to shield Bill 
Gates' deposition in an antitrust case. "That is not what 
the public deserves and has a right to under the law," he 
said.
