What's the point of this applause light? Surely it's obvious that none of this should be relevant to the court case.

What's the point of this applause light? Surely it's obvious that none of this should be relevant to the court case.
- monocasa 7y agoIt doesn't matter for the court case, but this thread is a court of public opinion, not a legal one.
- ForHackernews 7y agoI don't believe jerks should lose in court because they're jerks, but I am happier to see jerks lose.
- chongli 7y agoHumans love to see the bad guy lose. Larry Ellison has built a business out of lock-in and lawsuits against his own customers. People hate to see that kind of antisocial behaviour rewarded.
- blub 7y agoExcept in this case it's two bad guys fighting each-other... Google built a business on spying on people.
- tekknik 7y ago100% agree that Google should die in a fire, just after this case. They’re the good guys here.
- baud147258 7y agoThey're the least bad guy in that case, but that doesn't make them the good guy by default.
- monocasa 7y agoNo, them fighting on the side of what's good for the industry is what makes them the good guys in this case, not the fact that they're fighting Oracle. If the positions were switched, I would be biting my tongue and rooting for Oracle.
