      Day in Court

      Today, it begins again. Microsoft will ask a panel of seven judges to reverse U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jacksons order to split the company and declare his finding that the company violated antitrust laws null and void. Dividing the company into disparate pieces always seemed a long shot. But now even its fiercest critics concede that published comments from Jackson may jeopardize the case.

      Napster Hush?

      Things arent looking up for Napster. The music sharing service last week offered to pay music labels $1 billion over five years in licensing fees; Sony, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group declined. Meanwhile, Napster has a March 2 hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel to determine the details of an injunction that would force Napster to stop allowing copyrighted music to be shared — effectively shutting the service down.

      A group headed by Liberty Media will gain a majority share of six German cable television companies owned by Deutsche Telekom for more than $2 billion. The deal gives Liberty Chairman John Malone quick access to millions of homes in the enormous German TV market.
