This week's SCO funThis week's SCO funPosted Aug 28, 2003 11:10 UTC (Thu) by ekj (subscriber, #1524)Parent article: This week's SCO fun Taking down SCO's site is wrong; it is a big mistake. Let us hope that it does not happen again. To the contrary. Taking down anything related to SCO is perfectly ok, and infact I applaud it. However I don't applaud the methods used. Breaking the law when figthing a lawsuit is dumb and counterproductive. I much prefer the method used for squelching SCO in Germany. Here, LinuxTag went to a judge and essentially said: "SCOs statements are hurting us. Despite numerous requests they have been unwilling or unable to substantiate them. Please Mr Judge, ask SCO to provide evidence for their wild claims, or ask them to stop making them." The judge did, and as a consequence www.sco.de went down. Now it's back up, but chemically free of ANY reference to anything related to Linux or the present unpleasantness. Redhat has been taking steps to squlech the libellous, tortorous claims of SCO in the US, what boggles my mind is that a hundred, or a thousand, other entities have not been doing the same.
