Defendant in this case probably knows and purposely uses Chinese contractors to get around licensing expensive software. So not exactly someone to cheer for.

Defendant in this case probably knows and purposely uses Chinese contractors to get around licensing expensive software. So not exactly someone to cheer for. But plaintiff also wants to set a pretty bad precedent.
- icebraining 10y agoWhat's pathetic is that they actually did download the software, which will probably come back to bite them. Sounds like we can hope this is a case in which everybody loses :) Well, except the lawyers, of course.
- macmac 10y agoThey appear to argue that the download was some sort of trial copy or at least that they thought it was. It appears undisputed that they never used the software.
- kmichaels 10y agoI think they likely just look at the sub-contracting costs and see that the Chinese contractors are massively cheaper then don't ask too many questions. It's pretty much business as usual to pirate CAD software in China so they probably knew what was happening though.
