LXer: SCO Files Motion for Judgment As a Matter of Law, or For a New Trial


Published at LXer:

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?

How much longer is SCO going to drag this bullcrap on? I thought they filed for Ch. 11 bankruptcy or something. How do they still have the funds to keep this shenanigans going? It is beyond me!

Unfortunately, companies in Chapter 11 get to keep operating while they try and restructure/screw over their creditors. However, at some point they either have to emerge from Chapter 11 or go into Chapter 7 and die the horrible, painful, miserable death they so richly deserve.
