So says the government, after settling with some of the most fun firms in technology (Google! Apple! Pixar!) ... and Intuit. That was last year, but now Lieff Cabraser is bringing the follow on civil suit, and it just won a motion to dismiss and got to discovery. I think it's fair to say that the settlement or verdict will be pretty substantial, but the conduct itself ... it involves the employment market in Silicon Valley. Firms there apparently agreed to create "do not call" lists for the employees of select competitors - not a "do not hire" list. But just a restriction on how you market your job opening. It's an interesting example, if yet another is needed, or just how far antitrust regulation reaches into business practices.
