Software pirate awarded by U.S. judges. Sun Microsystems had distributed vast number of pirated copies of Dr. Yue's software. Evidence included defendants' sales records and internal emails admitting the wrongdoing. The judges ignored the evidence and ruled in Sun's favor. The judge made a stern warning: "Mr. Yue, I am going to have you taken out if you don't be quiet" (quoting transcript). The court then ordered Dr. Yue to pay $219,949.90 to Sun.
DR. YUE: What's the court's legal rationale for that? THE COURT: THAT IS THE RATIONALE, AND THAT'S THE STATEMENT. DR. YUE: Following rules of civil procedure-- (interrupted) THE COURT: MR. YUE, I AM GOING TO HAVE YOU TAKEN OUT IF YOU DON'T BE QUIET.
Well, the programmer being Chinese definitely was a factor in the court's decision process. But the federal caselaw will be applied to everybody. Copyright is something created by the law. So, according this ruling, the Chinese people never infringed any U.S. copyright.
Yes but No. There are treaties and compacts that have been made and are supposed to be adhered to by participating nations.
My guess is that his contrcat was flawed and that because it was he lost millions. I think that once you give someone "ownership" it is there's to do what they please. Its like shooting yourself in the foot.
He should have paid a wise US lawyer to write the contract.

Jenkins was saying if you got one copy, then you can make any copies. That's kinda semi-retarded. It is a matter of permissions. When someone do not have permission to make a copy, it's pirating. That's common sense.
In the Anna Mae He case, we nailed the judges for lying and judicial fraud -- the crooks distorted facts and made sham arguments. We finally reversed the thing 100% at the supreme court. We will do the same here: expose the fraud.
It depends on the license restrictions. You have to be very specific on the definitions. Aparently the judge decided that the definitions meant that the owner could copy it in any of his computers.
Possibly they failed to state in court that the computers that were installed on were not belonging to the same owner.
It does look like the Judge took a bribe to come up with such a decision.
