I entirely agree.
I don't think that Plurk should settle for anything less, quite literally.
They obviously have a good case in copyright, and presumably the law of confidential information. Although the law of confidential information is a common law solution, it's not totally noddy.
Microsoft can easily afford it. Good luck!
usually, when the infringement is accidental and the offence is removed on notification, courts would be looking to see what the damage and loss to Plurk was - but the Chinese attitude to IP infringement will certainly be interesting. If there is a lawsuit and there is money to be paid, it would presumably come from the contractor who actually copied the code and then said it was their own.
What Microsoft obviously needs is a better review and sign-off process for third-party code. And to make sure that their contracts with third parties hold the programmer who lifted the code responsible.

No big deal. MS has a penchant for "borrowing " code, and not owning up to it until caught. I would bet that their windows code contains many lines of UNIX.
Plurk should just forgive and forget. MS has the best lawyers and judges that money can buy.
