TCS fined $210 million in legal dispute with CSC

In a legal case involving Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and CSC, a US-based software service provider, TCS has been found guilty and ordered to pay a $210 million fine. The dispute stems from TCS winning a $2 billion contract with Transamerica, a major US life insurance company, to provide a software solution called B-A-N-C-S. CSC alleges that TCS did not have a product ready for the US market and that TCS unlawfully accessed and shared confidential information about CSC's Bantage software, including copying the source code and sharing it via email. The jury's decision against TCS marks the second time the company has been found guilty in a copyright infringement case.
