Oracle Told By Judge To Rethink Claims Against Google
![Oracle Told By Judge To Rethink Claims Against Google [Judge Suggests Oracle Rethink Damages Amount And Broad Case Against Android]](http://nexus404.com/Blog/thumbnailimages/alt/oracleTFTSThumb220153.jpg)
The battle between Oracle and Google wages on as Oracle seemingly loses another battle. A judge in the case is telling Oracle that the amount of damages and the focus of the lawsuit ought to be rethought. Will Oracle take the judge’s advice and overhaul their case against Google?
Oracle has been in quite the ugly court battle with Google over patent and copyright infringements. Google says the lawsuit is a direct attack against the open-source community but Oracle doesn’t see it that way.
The latest in the saga is that a judge is suggesting the Oracle goes back to the drawing board. First, he’s telling them that instead of $2.6 billion in damages, they ought to use a figure closer to $100 million as a starting point. What a blow, right? To add insult to injury, the judge also believes Oracle ought to turn its focus from all of Android to very specific infringements.
Google isn’t that new to copyright confusion what with their faux pas concerning Google Books and even the Linux code used for Android. Google seems to have a reputation now of repeatedly getting into copyright debacles but perhaps they’re big enough to constantly come out unscathed.

A little biased there, huh? Too bad there isn’t an IQ test before people are allowed to post things online. You honestly think that Oracle deserves to be paid the entire value of Android? If I walked into a store and stole a TV and placed it in my house, do I owe that store owner my entire house? According to you, yes. Stop being retarded.
Serious question though…Is apple paying some of these reporters to write this nonsense or are reporters just getting extremely dumb? In the last few days I’ve seen so much complete BS in the news aimed at Google. They don’t even attempt to sound unbiased.
I think that Java should have been more open from the beginning. I’m so happy that the platform has resisted fragmentation, nevertheless, we don’t need Oracle squeezing Google for billions because of a few (really) ridiculous patents.
