What happened
In Eventim Live Asia Pte. Ltd. v. KAMP Music Festival Inc., Eventim asked to file its motion for default judgment and supporting materials with redactions and under seal. Eventim said the materials contained confidential information about the parties’ business relationship, negotiations, and agreements.
Eventim proposed redacting its memorandum, a declaration, an affidavit, and Exhibit 1. It also asked to seal Exhibits 6, 8 through 10, and 12 through 17. Eventim said it served the court and KAMP with copies so KAMP could respond without prejudice.
The court granted Eventim’s motion to seal ECF Nos. 22 through 24 and directed the Clerk to keep those documents under seal because they contained sensitive information that should not be part of the public record. Judge Andrew L. Carter entered the order on October 27, 2023.
