Oracle Wins 10 Times More Than the Record Industry Ever Has for Copyright Infringement
SAP has been ordered to pay $1.3 billion to Oracle - the largest fine ever levied for a copyright infringement case.
According to Bloomberg, in 2002, the Recording Industry Association of America was awarded $136 million in a case that involved copying and distributing 1,500 songs by artists including Elvis Presley, Madonna and James Brown. Bloomberg also reports the Oracle verdict is the largest jury award this year and the 23rd largest of all time.
The Oracle case has nothing to do with music. Instead, this case is about SAP stealing intellectual property to provide low cost support for Oracle customers. In turn, the hope was was to lure these Oracle customers over to SAP.
