Microsoft files defense in Real Networks case

edited February 2004 in Science & Tech
Microsoft on Friday filed its formal response to RealNetworks's anti-trust lawsuit against it, denying allegations that it is impeding competition in the digital media market.

[blockquote]RealNetworks alleges in the lawsuit it filed in December that Microsoft illegally used its monopoly power to restrict competition and consumer choice in the digital-media space by forcing its Windows Media player on Windows users. Part of Real Networks' case is based on business conduct similar to what U.S. courts have declared illegal in other Microsoft antitrust cases, such as failure to disclose interface information and placing restrictions on PC manufacturers.
