And so it goes ... microsoft buys their way out yet again; the documents and records
will be sealed, and the general public will never even know what happened.

How come, when it comes to individuals say stealing a tank of gas from a quicky-mart,
we don't allow THEM to make deals with the station owners to pay them off to drop thier
compaints, but in huge billion dollar white collar crime cases it happens almost every day?

I see the plaintiffs in Iowa claimed Windows was over-priced by around $40 because
of abuse of the monopoly, and that a loss could have cost around a billion. And that
this settlement is likely to cost around $1.5 billion. You do the math. The plaintiffs get
more to settle than they would likely have won? Sounds like a bribe, to me.

There needs to be an end to the practice of sealing records, especially when they
contain evidence of criminal behavior. That turns the concept of justice upside down.
