Oracle Not Satisfied With Potential $150,000; Goes Against Judge's Warning
bobwrit writes with news about how the monetary damages in the Google v. Oracle case might shake out. On Thursday, Judge Alsup told Oracle the most it could expect for statutory damages was a flat $150,000, a far cry from the $6.1 billion Oracle wanted in 2011, or even the $2.8 million offered by Google as a settlement. However, Oracle still thinks it can go after infringed profits, even though Judge Alsup specifically warned its lawyers they were making a mistake. He said, "It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions." Groklaw has a detailed post about today's events.
Christ, not this fucking anti-Google troll again. What a worthless repugnant human being. I bet his mother prays he gets hit by a bus, preferably being dragged for thirty miles before being shaken loose, sent careening into a tar pond where, two million years from now, he'll be dug up, recognized as the evil little bastard that he is, and put on display as "Microsoftus uptheassus".
