Well, it’s later than we expected, but we did finally get a copy of the jury questionnaire as well as Blackboard’s motion for prejudgment interest. (Both of these were provided by instructional media + magic and acquired from public sources.) And there are a few interesting details.
Update: At the request of Blackboard’s legal counsel, we have removed the link to the motion for pre-judgment interest.
Later Update: A link to the redacted version of the motion has been added back. In answer to some of the questions that I’ve been getting, the reason that Blackboard requested that the document be taken down in the first place is that there was a clerical error in which Exhibit D (referenced in the post below) should have been submitted under seal since it contained D2L’s client list. (Both companies have a right to keep their client lists confidential, and the customers of both companies have the right not to publicize which platform they use.) Blackboard’s legal counsel corrected the error through official channels and asked that we take down the part of the document that shouldn’t have been released in the first place. No threats were made. After thinking about it a bit and seeking a second opinion, I came to the conclusion that it was a reasonable request and took appropriate action. With Jim’s help, I got a copy of the filing minus Exhibit D and reposted it as soon as I had the chance.
As to the question of why the instructional media + magic web site is down, it is undergoing maintenance for unrelated reasons.
