CNET and Publishers Weekly have slightly different takes on the same story: once again Apple has been denied a motion to delay in the long-running antitrust proceedings against it.
Publishers Weekly:
Apple’s losing streak in Judge Denise Cote’s courtroom continues. This week the court denied Apple’s request for a stay of all proceedings pending various appeals in its e-book price fixing case. And in a separate opinion and order, the court also denied Apple’s bid to have the damages trial moved from Judge Cote’s New York courtroom.
Despite complaints from former MacAdam Cage authors that they have not received e-book royalties or regular statements for years, Mark Pearce, publisher of MP Publishing, the publisher and e-book distributor that controls their e-book rights, claims all royalties have been paid and all statements are up to date. Pearce blames the legacy of problems at MacAdam Cage on its late publisher, David Poindexter, although he is urging former MacAdam Cage authors to contact him to resolve disputes over post-bankrutpcy e-book rights to their titles.
