CD Micro Must Pay Symantec $10 Million

Symantec Corp. said a federal judge awarded it more than $10 million from a company that had been selling pirated copies of its software.

Symantec, maker of the Norton anti-virus program, claimed that closely held CD Micro Inc. and its chief executive, Vincent Webb, were infringing Symantec copyrights and trademarks by selling unauthorized copies of the software over the Web.

U.S. District Judge Garr M. King in Portland, Ore., tripled the $3.3 million that CD Micro made in profit from the unlawful sales, Symantec said.
