Big Tech's latest shady bid aims to squash its smaller rivals. Armies of lobbyists, lawyers help Silicon Valley firms promote legal changes, court outcomes.
Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss two cases before the Supreme Court dealing with free speech on the internet.Big Tech lawyers are riding high. A Delaware judge recently delivered a lengthy memo trampling the American justice system and supportingbit hook, line, and sinker on an absurd argument that the biggest and richest technology companies have been peddling for decades.
Nevertheless, Connolly doubled down on his April order with a late-November memo, a self-justifying, 78-page screed in which he claims his"inherent power" – as opposed to any federal statutory authority – justifies his disclosure demand. To that end, Big Tech and its allies have launched a furious campaign against third-party financing. In a November report, for example, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce asserted that"a foreign government could fund litigation to advance its strategic interests against the U.S." The chamber offered no evidence that any foreign governments have actually used the U.S. court system this way.
Strong IP laws are a bedrock part of the U.S. economy. When one company steals another's intellectual property, the latter has a right to sue. But as once-innovative companies became massive, they hired armies of lobbyists and lawyers to press for self-serving legal changes and court outcomes. These underhanded legal maneuvers have successfully tipped the scales in favor of the robbers and greedy corporations.
