Hard to fathom how someone who sells "Software As A Service" can get pwn3d like this. Oh, and the fact that they are even willing to consider paying a ransom really bothers me. If I was a customer, I'd be be looking for an alternate vendor.

And so the battle goes on....

How will we be feeling after we have spent the big bucks to gain SFD access and then the courts force VAG to provide the access for free?!! I know how I will feel! I will regret having told Uwe we need SFD access to keep our tool current in the market.

I know one thing that will not happen: Ross-Tech will not get one cent back that has been paid to gain said access.

Historically, the courts have never forced stuff like this to be made available at no cost. But if they do, yes, the contract says our payments are not refundable.
