,,Google’s Supreme Court faceoff with Oracle was a disaster for Google''
I don't see how losing even a few billion dollars could be a disaster for Google at this point. They control most of the smart phones in the world, and that's worth much more than that amount of money (regardless of whether using Java was the right choice or not).
- bradfitz 6y agoFew billion dollars, sure. Except that little Supreme Court decision on API copyrightability thing.
- xiphias2 6y agoWhy would that be so bad for Google? Can you please explain?
- ffpip 6y agoRead the article. The case was bad for Google because their lawyer was bad. The case would be bad for software everywhere, because API copyright. (in future) You're mixing both and asking why it would be bad for Google
