Misel Maticevic and Mark Waschke in The Billion Dollar Code (2021)
Two German computer pioneers who go to court in the fight against an apparently invincible opponent in order to be recognized as the inventor of the Google Earth algorithm. The series illuminates both the hacker scene in post-reunification Berlin in the 90s, as well as the idealistic world of early Silicon Valley and the harsh reality of a multi-million dollar process.

    Recommended for every entrepreneurs

    Recommended for every entrepreneurs. Nice series. I really believe, "Without Terravision, Google Earth would never have been possible."
    8caeciliemoebius

    Couldn't stop watching

    Very interesting and enlightening. Very good picture of Berlin in the 90s and the acting is superb. Mark Waschke, as always, steals every scene he's in.

    Interesting and insightful

    Behind the carefully crafted image lies a corporation built on appropriation of ideas for which due credit was never given.

    Well made.

    True stories erased from history

    A Netflix series powerfully seeks justice for the creators of the real Google Earth!

    Just watch

    This is a story that everyone should see. Everyone.

    "Don't be Evil" is stated as Google's catchphrase from their code of conduct- well, except when you are being evil and screwing people out of their intellectual property.

    An eye-opening view of Google and their approach to IP.
