Abstract

A California-based software company, Cybersitter LLC, has launched a $2.2 billion lawsuit against China, claiming that its Green Dam software has code copied from its own filtering software. The Green Dam software was required in all Chinese computers as a part of the government's attempt to censor Internet use in China.
