Amount spent: not sure I'd go that far
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, June 01 2012 @ 07:03 PM EDT

It does mention:

Oracle’s controversial decision to hire an ethically-challenged blogger
But there's not mention on the amount. Not that I can see.

Following the link to an article by the same author on the ethically challenged has:

In Mueller’s case, he is able to parse and summarize tricky judgments more effectively than many of his credentialed counterparts and does not make any obvious mistakes.
With a statement like that combined with what I've viewed as Mueller's understanding of various Legal situations... from my perspective, such a sentiment only hurts the authors potential value of someone to go to for an appropriate, informed opinion.

I wonder if the author holds the same view in light of how Judge Alsup ruled combined with the cases sited and Mueller's most recent statements about the Judge.

Ora should be awarded not $1, but $60.

I desperately want to see Oracle embarrassed by this. I think
a $1 win would be trumpeted by them as a moral victory. But I
think that they'd have a lot more difficulty explaining to
shareholders that they spent millions for a $60 win.

"Legal costs at ~$50million each" - Patrick Doody (Lawyer & former patent examiner.)

I think that once this is all over the Google can petition the court to pick up
their legal costs. What an embarassment that would be for Oracle.
