In response to a lawsuit accusing the US Navy of pirating more than 558,000 copies of virtual reality software, the Navy conceded Monday that it had installed the software on “hundreds of thousands of computers within its network” without paying the German software maker for it. But the Navy says it did so with the consent of the software producer.
Bitmanagement Software, in a federal lawsuit, claims the government pilfered its 3D virtual reality software on a “massive scale” beginning in 2013. The company says it agreed to license BS Contact Geo on just 38 machines “for the purposes of testing, trial runs, and integration into Navy systems.”
