Arista beats Cisco’s $335M copyright claim with an unusual defense

Wait so the program was literally called CLI? I don't understand.

Good fuck those kikes

Just using the same commands as Cisco's CLI.

>copyright

Shouldn't it be a patent, not a copyright? Or did they not patent it so they're grasping at straws?

>>58004761
It honestly makes sense

I always thought this stuff wasn't covered by copyright along with programming languages

It is both

>Exacerbating the claims were Cisco's copyright-infringement allegations; Chandler pointed out that Arista had allegedly lifted "[e]ntire sections of [Cisco's] user manuals, complete with grammatical errors," and put them in Arista's own product documentation.

A lot of large tech companies make a living out of sueing random parties. Especially Oracle is guilty of this. But also Getty Images.

Well, I guess they could sue for the instruction manual copyright infringement then. Not sure what they could actually prove from that in terms of damages though. Not like the manuals were the selling point of the devices.

Cisco are Temple of Solomon tier kikes, but Arista definitely got lucky with their knockoff management interface that they've been flaunting since they started.

I don't agree that APIs and command line program names/syntax should be copyrightable, but Arista are shady fucks who aren't exactly in the right here either.

>Cisco are Temple of Solomon tier kikes,
I submitted an source code request under the GPL to them a few days ago. It took ages to get its way through TAC and now they want 2 weeks to find where their source code is.

Good job anon. I work for a Cisco Gold partner and I'm almost tempted to try helping you.

>>58006878
can you get me IOS images?

>>58006930
No, but if you just need them for GNS3, I think they're pretty easy to find on torrents.

>>58007099
>No, but if you just need them for GNS3,
No, I need them for actual hardware. Mine are recent enough, just not the latest.

I heard that laugh of hers when I opened that image.
