"Google settled the case out of court"
That is a shame. It means that no actual decision is going to be taken, arguments are not going to be heard and Justice has no say.
All that in the name of protecting the revenue of a corporation that has more money than it can spend.
Google obviously knew what it was doing ; it evaluated the man (a crook with a strong penchant for money) and found the right amount to shut him up before a judge could lay in with a decision that might hurt Google long term more than losing the case would.
Hey, two crooks would obviously find common ground, right ?
Biting the hand that feeds IT
