This suit is about a PSP game and started 12 years ago. I wonder what Datel had to pay over all this time to defend themselves.

- drtgh 2y agoI do not know such field, but it seems they sell videogame cheat products, maybe more than to defend they have been investing in to grant more freedom to parasitize with their exploits.
- ChocolateGod 2y agoI believe since Sony lost, they would need to pay back the defendants legal fees.
- echoangle 2y agoProbably, but you still have to put up the money for 12 years first.
- d1sxeyes 2y agoSony haven’t lost the original lawsuit, the question was referred to a higher court, but from what I understand, the appeal court in Germany still holds jurisdiction over the case. Either way, it’s not a given that legal fees would be awarded. This can also have a chilling effect, and so is not as good for the legal system as it sounds. If I have a decent case against a big company, and they spend millions on defence and get off on an esoteric point of law, I shouldn’t need to pay their multi-million dollar legal bill. Otherwise a company can just spend huge amounts on legal costs as a way to encourage unfavourable settlements (“hey, our legal bill is up to 12 million already, we know you think you’re entitled to 5 million but we’ll give you 50k to settle today. It’d be a shame if we made it to court and you lost and had to pay our lawyers…”)
