In an article penned by Executive Editor
Tim Redmond, the 35-year-old
weekly announces that it has "launched
the first stage of a legal offensive
to stop" its New Times-owned competitor
"from engaging in anticompetitive
business practices that may violate
federal and state (antitrust) laws."
Redmond also details a settled
lawsuit in which the Bay Guardian
charged a sales rep who had decided to
jump ship with secretly
downloading
over 1,000 pages of sales records
and providing them to her then-new
employer, SF Weekly.
