Oracle Sues SAP for Spidering Their Support Site

TodoInSATX writes "Oracle has filed a lawsuit against SAP. Among the claims made against SAP are violations of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and California Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, Unfair Competition, Intentional and Negligent Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage and Civil Conspiracy. From the actual complaint: 'SAP has stolen thousands of proprietary, copyrighted software products and other confidential materials that Oracle developed to service its own support customers. SAP gained repeated and unauthorized access, in many cases by use of pretextual customer log-in credentials, to Oracle's proprietary, password-protected customer support website.'"

Well, typically only really big places use it since it costs millions and takes years (and more $$$) of consultancy and configuration to roll it out.

When you finally get it, the UI is an excercise in how many good UI design principles can we possibly break on one screen. Response to comments on the UI ? - "Vee are the third largest softvare company in zee vorld" (or in other words, they're so successful they must be right).

Be thankful you've never had to use it.
