In this tutorial you will learn how to play with numbers, so you be able to achieve the maximum.
Your opponent gives you the number of 118,939 sold copies of his product in the US, where there is not clear how many of them where related to your software.
You also know that 35,685 copies where just trials, at a cost of 1 EUR.
Now at court you present the following:
Thus, at minimum, roughly 36% of Bossland’s U.S. sales are of products for use
with the Blizzard Games. In light of the foregoing, and given Bossland’s
deliberate decision to default and avoid discovery, it is fair and reasonable to
assume that at least2 36% of those downloads were of the Bossland Hacks, and not
Bossland products for use with other games. Thus, Blizzard is entitled to at least
42,818 (roughly 36% of 118,939) separate statutory damages awards under the
DMCA.
In this case, Blizzard is only seeking the minimum statutory damages of
$200 per infringement, for a total of $8,563,600.00.
Notably, $200 approximates the cost of a one-year license for the Bossland Hacks. So, it is very likely that
Bossland actually received far more than $8 million in connection with its sale of the Bossland Hacks.
Viola, You made the $ 8.5M.
The fact that a old lifetime licence for Honorbuddy v2 did cost between 20 - 25 EUR (depending on 1 or 3 Sessions), as a one time purchase and that a trial licence did cost 1 EUR, and on basis on this given numbers by your opponent you would get something like; The Legendary Buddy product (the one that costs 199 EUR), was sold under 100 times since it was announced, worldwide.
0.36 x (118,939 - 35,685 ) x 22.5 + 0.36 x 35,685 x 1 =
... naahh that is too complicated to calculate.
Just so you know, we would like to have made 8.5M USD with sales, unluckily for us, we did not. The real number is probably somewhere around 687.204 EUR before any costs.
