Yeah, we need a neologism for companies pursuing crackpot legal theories, betting their entire company on the outcome. This feels like a SCO trial part II.

- hga 17y agoThe bulk of SCO Group v. The World (them vs. IBM and Novell) wasn't as I recall based on crackpot legal theories, their problem was that the facts weren't on their side. I.e. they didn't own UNIX(TM) and IBM didn't do anything illicit with UNIX(TM) anyway. That's in part why it took/is taking longer, there have to be findings of fact which a judge can't do (Novell's summary judgment win on ownership was reversed, so they had to put it before a jury, where they won).
