The US Navy suffered yet another defeat, this time not in a naval battle, in a federal courtroom that fined the Navy $154,000 for accidentally using software developed by the German company Bitmanagement Software.
The gist of the filing 6 years ago is that the US Navy obtained the company’s consent to a limited experimental use of BS Contact Geo software (a software package for 3D geographic data visualization) to install and evaluate all testing on 38 computers.
Having received a high appraisal from the Navy command, the participants HAVE SHOULD come with a large order in 2013. During the update, God, Bitmanagement came to the site by clicking on the link to Geolink.
At this time, I was issued 38 licenses, the Americans used BS Contact Geo on 560 pages. computers. Since the Flexwrap duplicate tracking software was disabled 8 years ago, the actual number of duplicates cannot be counted.
In the end, it turns out that there is a case with piracy, losses have been calculated in Bitmanagement. Each campaign raised $1,067 for a total damage of $570 million. dollars.
Despite the fact that the lawsuit falls in 2019, two years later, in the autumn of Tue. This time, the court found the US Navy guilty of copyright infringement because the Flexera application was not used to allocate the number of concurrent users, which was stipulated in the license terms.
And yet, the amount of the increase in the amount was reduced many times thanks to David Kennedy, an accountant at Pricewaterhouse Coopers (a network of companies providing consulting and audit services – ed. Techcult). At the time of proof, the price of licenses is not worth $200, in 1067, which is verified by Bitmanagement. As a result, the Navy will pay the plaintiff a ridiculous 154,400 dollars.
