Musicmatch's motion for
Protective Order April 28, 2008 Musicmatch is being sued for infringement
of US Patent 6665797 for its Music Store services, at US District Court of
Northern California (Oakland division), case no: 4:06-cv-06573-SBA. Musicmatch
has ceased its Musicmatch Music Store since September 1, 2007. But they
did not inform the court, only until recently, they motion for an urgent
order from the court, to allow them to discard the approximately 300 servers
responsible for the Music Store Services, beginning on May 1, 2008. Their
reason for the urgency is that the existing Data Centre lease is due on June
31, 2008, and they have to decide whether to renew the lease, before May 1,
2008. To us, their
motion is a motion to destroy all infringement evidence. Without the servers,
we can only prove infringement by the program codes they provided. On April
29, 2008, the court issued a protective order to permit Musicmatch to discard
the servers. Musicmatch
