No Google is not going to pay billion dollars, not yet. Very clickbaity title.
- protonimitate 9y agoTitle is perfectly accurate imo. The case originally had Oracle seeking 8.8b in damages. Oracle won the revival. Therefore Oracle won the revival of a billion dollar case. The title does not state or imply that google will pay the full amount, only that the case is not dead. I know, click bait is bad, but it really irks me that people on HN are so quick to pull the 'click-bait' card for no reason. Would a different title really change anyone's interpretation of the article? I don't think so.
- haZard_OS 9y agoHow is the title click-bait? It doesn't say that Google will pay billions. It says it is a billion-dollar case...and it is (at least potentially). If this meets your definition of "very clickbaity" then where could you go to avoid click-bait?!
- coding123 9y agoWell it's 25% clickbaity IMO - it was the billion dollar case, but perhaps "Java Copyright Case" would have been better.
