A United States Federal Court condemned to navy turn off US$ 154.400 (BRL 833,698 at the current exchange rate) for a German company called Bitmanagement🇧🇷 The decision comes after a six-year legal battle that began due to copyright infringement by the US agency.
The amount requested by the company, however, was US$ 155 million (R$ 838 million) in the action. At first, this was the result of a calculation that took into account the value of US$ 259 per license of the BS Contract Geo program, used to create 3D terrains. In this case, the number would be for the installation of 600,000 copies of the software.
Initially, Bitmanagement released 38 around 38 copies of the program for use. The violation, then, occurred in 2011 and the German company filed the lawsuit in 2016. The opening document of the process, in turn, shows that BS Contract Geo was installed in 558,466 between the years 2011 and 2015.
The detail, however, is that only 635 licenses were used and it is from this quantity that the calculation for the amount to be paid by the US Navy came out. In this case, it is US$ 200 for each license and US$ 350 for each 100 concurrent use programs. Incidentally, this came from a negotiation between the two parties.
