• ONLINE EXCHANGE: DOES ANTITRUST LAW COMPUTE?
  An IP Magazine on the Web online discussion among five distinguished practitioners on how (or even if) government can regulate anticompetitive practices in the digital age: "Since at least 1989, antitrust regulators at the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission have pursued Microsoft Corp., with mixed results.
