I thought Europe already had case law surrounding this while the US have never taken it as far as courts and paid an undisclosed sum.

    In Europe I'm now aware of any common law or precedence law approaches so even if there'd be a case like you described (which I would be interested in!) it wouldn't have binding qualities for the bullshit that onlyoffice is pulling off.

    Dipshits.

    as a person with an american background who has absolutely no clue what he's talking about, IIRC if there's a long series of previous decisions it would still be very persuasive under civil law (jurisprudence constante). I cannot find any similar decisions either, though.

    Oh yeahz you're right from what I know! Reference cases are used, at least in Germany, all the time, especially looking at the closing argument of the judgment itself (according to that one judge podcast I listen to which makes me an internet expert, doesn't it?).

    Good point!
