I guess they want lottery tickets instead of a pathetic win. It doesn't seem
reasonable, but I guess they'd rather just lose the case rather than get what
is, for them at least, a very tiny win.
Maybe they think the headlines sound better if they lose entirely, rather than
going from billions in damages to $150k or so?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I assume that the jury will have to decide on the basis of Google's
demonstration of how little of the revenue depended on the infringed goodness.
I think the same arguments I used for actual damages show that rangeCheck costs
Google money and the test files are not used and therefore don't earn money.
I am hopeful that the outcome will be very similar to an actual damages
assessment.
