SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 13 – Amazon.com has been
sued for alleged price
restraints with the Big Five
in e-books: Simon &
Schuster, HarperCollins,
Hachette, Macmillan and
Penguin.
On July 13, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Debra C.
Freeman held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
Amazon and the Big Five were,
not surprisingly, together
pushing for a stay of
discovery.
But Judge
Freeman explained that the
default in SDNY is to allow
discovery to go forward.
She urged the
parties to try to agree on a
scope of discovery, suggesting
that the plaintiffs not insist
on seeing all contract, and
the the defendants not insist
on withholding everything.
There are other
cases against Amazon, and sure
to be more.
This one is In Re
Amazon.com, Inc. eBook
Antitrust Litigation,
21-cv-351 (Woods / Freeman)
