Statutory Damages
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 07 2012 @ 04:17 PM EDT
From Wikipedia:
In the United States, statutory damages are set out in Title 17, Section
504 of the U.S. Code. The basic level of damages is between $750 and
$30,000 per work, at the discretion of the court.

Plaintiffs who can show willful infringement may be entitled to damages
up to $150,000 per work. Defendants who can show that they were "not
aware and had no reason to believe" they were infringing copyright may
have the damages reduced to $200 per work.

Under 17 USC 412, statutory damages are only available in the United
States for works that were registered with the Copyright Office prior to
infringement, or within three months of publication.

I thought that Android made a loss. In other words he is offering to pay Google?

David Boies as a loser
Authored by: BJ on Monday, May 07 2012 @ 04:27 PM EDT
David Boies as a loser is a bad one. No sportsmanship there.
So much for the 'old boys' (pun intended) noblesse.
Duh.

Mr. Boies stated a bunch of things, apparently meaning none of it, or all of it, or...
Authored by: mirrorslap on Monday, May 07 2012 @ 09:29 PM EDT
Judge Alsup keeps a very even demeanor even when faced with egregious
behavior, and my impession was that he very clearly communicated his
displeasure at Mr. Boies by stating that the request "bordered on the
ridiculous", citing the 9 lines out of 15 million and saying, "come
on" (my
interpretation: get real). He also seemed quite displeased that Mr. Boies
had "changed his tune" by asking for anything beyond statutory damages

as had been stated by Oracle as their goal earlier in the trial.
