The Microsoft Antitrust Cases
For more than two decades, the U.S. Department of Justice, various states, the European Commission, and many private litigants pursued antitrust actions against the tech giant Microsoft. In investigating and prosecuting Microsoft, federal and state prosecutors were playing their traditional role of reining in a corporate power intent on eliminating competition. Seen from another perspective, however, the government's prosecution of Microsoft -- in which it deployed the century-old Sherman Antitrust Act in the volatile and evolving global business environment of the digital era -- was unprecedented. In this book, two experts on competition policy offer a comprehensive account of the multiple antitrust actions against Microsoft--from beginning to end -- and an assessment of the effectiveness of antitrust law in the twenty-first century. Gavil and First describe in detail the cases that the Department of Justice and the states initiated in 1998, accusing Microsoft of obstructing browser competition and perpetuating its Windows monopoly. They cover the private litigation that followed, and the European Commission cases decided in 2004 and 2009. They also consider broader issues of competition policy in the age of globalization, addressing the adequacy of today's antitrust laws, their enforcement by multiple parties around the world, and the difficulty of obtaining effective remedies -- all lessons learned from theMicrosoftcases.

The Arc of Monopoly
The world we live in today is defined by three great arcs. The first is the world of semiconductors and the innovation characterized by Moore's law, the second is the creation of ubiquitous wireless access, and the third is the emergence of the internet platform. In that context, this Essay looks at government claims of monopolization in telecommunications and computing by considering past antitrust actions against AT&T, IBM, and Microsoft. Early antitrust actions against AT&T and IBM of course long predated the rise of the Chicago School, but later actions against AT&T and IBM overlapped that rise as did the antitrust actions against Microsoft. These antitrust actions intersected with and influenced these three arcs, though teasing out the precise nature of that influence is ultimately quite tricky.

Cyberlaw: Microsoft Corp. v. United States, Second Circuit holds that the government cannot compel an internet service provider to produce information stored overseas
Nearly all Internet users interact with \"the cloud\" every day, but most never consider what - or where - \"the cloud\" is. As it turns out, \"the cloud\" is composed of server farms located all over the world. Companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon now host large quantities of data abroad, raising novel jurisdictional questions. Recently, in Microsoft Corp. v. United States, the Second Circuit held that the government cannot compel Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to turn over data stored overseas, even with a warrant. The court did not acknowledge the unique \"un-territorial\" nature of data, instead proceeding as if it were considering a physical object. Increasingly, courts must apply old laws to new technology. In doing so, they can either acknowledge the unique features of modern technology, or, like the Second Circuit, they can disregard these differences. Only the first approach allows courts to grapple with the legal issues generated when old law meets new tech. In Microsoft, the majority did not engage with the emerging scholarly consensus that the \"where\" of data is not a straightforward inquiry. It thus did not address the novel issues implicated in this case and failed to reason through its decision fully.

The Microsoft case
In 1998, the United States Department of Justice and state antitrust agencies charged that Microsoft was monopolizing the market for personal computer operating systems. More than ten years later, the case is still the defining antitrust litigation of our era. William H. Page and John E. Lopatka’s The Microsoft Case contributes to the debate over the future of antitrust policy by examining the implications of the litigation from the perspective of consumer welfare. The authors trace the development of the case from its conceptual origins through the trial and the key decisions on both liability and remedies. They argue that, at critical points, the legal system failed consumers by overrating government’s ability to influence outcomes in a dynamic market. This ambitious book is essential reading for business, law, and economics scholars as well as anyone else interested in the ways that technology, economics, and antitrust law have interacted in the digital age.
