Amazon attorneys last week filed a letter with the court asking that it be allowed to redact sensitive business information about its Kindle e-book program gathered as evidence for the upcoming Apple price-fixing trial. Apple attorneys, however, are fighting the effort with a letter of its own, arguing that Amazon does not come close to meeting the legal standard for having the information in question redacted or sealed, and asking the court to grant public access to evidence gathered from Amazon.
