But when (the BSA) went to Congress to get their powers, part of what they got is that I automatically have to pay their legal fees from day one.... You pay the fine and get on with your business. What most people do is get terrified and pay their license and continue to pay their licenses. And they do that no matter what the license program turns into.
This is a very nice description of bullying and extortion. Which, it seems, the BSA is officially blessed to do by our oh-so-lovely government.
Clearly, SCO sees this and is trying to get in on this game.
It's sad. Sickening. Gangsters out there collecting protection money in the name of "protecting rights", and moroalists and congressmen defend their right to do so.
