Assuming that the analysis presented is correct, Oracle can
choose the number given by the jury, or the statutory damages.
As they are in this for the money, they will choose the higher
number. Therefore, the worst they can do as things stand is
$150,000.
This is obviously gotten down to being a nuisance lawsuit, no
matter how you slice it.

IANAL, etc.

Section 504(c)(2) says "In a case where the infringer sustains the burden
of proving, and the court finds, that such infringer was not aware and had
no reason to believe that his or her acts constituted an infringement of
copyright, the court in its discretion may reduce the award of statutory
damages to a sum of not less than $200."
That would seem to apply here.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
