Don't see anywhere I agued it wasn't, but I was responding to your comment which sounded like Quad9 was caving to Sony's lawyers, as opposed to the more specific accusations of judicial bribery in this follow-up post.
Is it common for German judges to be bought and/or specific judgements to be paid for in Germany?
- Dah00n 5y agoNo it isn't. While this is a bad thing saying it is bought is hyperbolic.
- gabereiser 5y agoIndeed it was hyperbolic.
- sophacles 5y agoThere is no bribery accusation. They said "sony bought their way". This is a vague statement that could include bribery, but also could mean "spent a lot of money on lawyers who found a judge that would side with them" or "sony spent a lot of money on lawsuits in many jurisdictions trying to find one that sided thier way" and a hundred other things.
- djrogers 5y agoThe exact quote is “went to a judge and bought”. If that’s not a direct accusation of bribery, I don’t know what is. None of the other options you listed come as close to describing what was stated as bribery does.
- gabereiser 5y agoHere: “Sony went to a judge, and bought their way to an injunction”. Better? I’m not accusing them of bribery, though I wouldn’t put it past them. Scratch our backs kind of thing. I hate Sony.
