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.'"

SAP are scum.

Not only their products are overpriced, poorly supported and very inefficient, but they seem to have increased their user base over the years through very unethical ways (they're also suspected of "lobbying" the EU, i.e. actively corrupting individual officials, to have it push the use of their products upon national administrations and public businesses and even that isn't their most dishonest.)

That kind of spying on Oracle just doesn't surprise me. They're a German company and God knows krauts are the dregs of humanity.
