Those are not the facts. UE didn't use SDS/2. They subcontracted work that requires the use of SDS/2 to a Chinese subcontractor who used an allegedly pirated copy of SDS/2 to do the work. It has to do with copyright in program output because that is what DDC is claiming. I would agree that the claim in this case is weak but it is before the 9th Circuit and their opinion is going to be very interesting either way.
- conistonwater 10y agoDoesn't this bit also matter? > Judge Callahan and Judge Hurwitz were both troubled by the fact that UE had advertised on its site that it used the SDS/2 software. UE’s counsel answered that UE was counting on contractors to use it, but admitted that UE had never asked DDC if it was indeed true that the contractors were legally using the software.
