What really annoys me is the way SCO paints all of us Linux community folks as pirates who just want to get away with stealing their code.

Agreed. Especially considering that SCO is trying to abscond with the huge amount of work that the Linux kernel community has done, and use it to justify lining their own pockets.

Who are the real pirates here? Who are the ones committing wanton theft and abuse? Whose rights are being trampled upon?

The fact that anybody at all in our society gives SCO absolutely any credence is an indication of how much perspective we have lost when it comes to the whole idea of "intellectual property rights".
