Hogan & Hartson LLP reported that it won "a significant victory" for social-networking company MySpace in December when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld dismissal by the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California an antitrust case brought by LiveUni-verse Inc. against MySpace. LiveUniverse owns the social-networking Web site vidilife.com. The company, Hogan & Hartson explains in a news release on its Web site, alleged that MySpace violated state and federal antitrust laws by disabling all vidilife.com "links" on myspace.com. Vidilife.com also alleged that myspace.com blocked functionality of vidilife.com's video player on MySpace's Web site.
