"SAP had admitted liability for TomorrowNow's actions. The unit, which provided software maintenance and support to Oracle customers, downloaded Oracle software and documents, infringing on 120 copyrights."

Oracle US, SAP German and a US jury. No wonder they lost. This is just ridiculous and the fine completely imaginary.


Seems like a good case to me, what do you have a problem with?


The amount of money they have to pay. It's no way close to the copyright infrigment they have done. (If they have done so).


Larry seems to be channelling the ghost of Lee Van Cleef.
