SCO Files Motion for Judgment As a Matter of Law, or For a New Trial
Wednesday, April 28 2010 @ 08:24 AM EDT
SCO has filed its "renewed" motion for judgment "as a matter of law", with its supporting memorandum. They ask the judge to rule over the heads of the jury and decide that the jury "simply got it wrong" when it ruled that SCO didn't get the copyrights in 1995 from Novell. In the alternative, they'd like a new trial.
See, this is the problem with loaning money to SCO. They don't ever want this dance to end. The rest of the world gets it. SCO lost, by judge (Dale Kimball) and now by jury. They'd like this to be over. And us, the musicians, so to speak, at the dance? We're tired and we want SCO to stop already so we can pack up and go home and get some sleep. And no, this isn't normal, stretching a case that was hopeless from day one into what looks to become a more than decade-long event.
And can you imagine the international outcry if the judge were to grant a request like this?

Sent the article link to my father. He's a dyed-in-the-wool M$ hater - believes (not fully jokingly) that BG is the anti-christ. He followed the original law suite. Believes that this latest move is a 'tempest in a tea pot' and won't amount to anything.
