What would it take to file a motion on behalf of Groklaw in the court? IANAL,
but I would encourage PJ and Groklaw's attorney to act immediately on this
motion. If you need financial support to pay for the legal fees, I'm sure it
will come to you easily!
I cannot write here what came out of my mouth when I read this news! The
arrogance of this so-called, but virtually dead, "company" continues
to shock me!!!
PJ: GO FOR IT!!!

This article in Forbes about Gene Quinn is hilarious. He tried to make an
anti-copy/paste thing, apparently unaware that they're ridiculous, they don't
work, and they do little more than annoy the non-tech savvy. Of course, he's
not smart enough to bypass it or something, so it must look great to him. Now
he's mumbling about how maybe a "plugin" would work better. Ahahahahahahahaha. [ Reply to This | # ]

SCOG is guano crazy enough to request and receive permission to burn evidence,
then, after burning the evidence, accuse IBM of conspiracy to despoil evidence
because they did not object.
Seriously, though, IBM has standing to object to this, and will be remiss if
they do not. They probably will never need any of the evidence contained in the
stored documentation, but they should not appear via their silence to concur
with its destruction.
-Wang-Lo.

Legally speaking, this is a valid idea.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is supposed to be about selling
*everything* of any value that the debtor has and passing
the money to the creditors.
Is there any way for us to propose that to the court?[ Reply to This | # ]

Technically, IBM should already have obtained all the discovery it needs, so SCO
could argue that IBM has no further need for the business records. Red Hat, on
the other hand, might be very interested, since it filed claims against SCO that
are different from IBM (and, of course, it hasn't begun discovery).
But let
us be realistic. What is it that Dan Lyons said? Oh yes, what SCO wants, SCO
gets.

I mean seriously .. how much does it cost to keep three storage lockers current?
I'm sure there are many of us here at Groklaw (myself included) that would be
willing to help purchase those records by paying that cost. Let the record show
that we made a public offer.[ Reply to This | # ]

So, as I understand it, willful destruction of documents
relevant to a court case is spoliation of evidence, because
the party has an inherent duty to preserve evidence that's
reasonably relevant to expected court proceedings. The
opposing party can be entitled to sanctions, including
having the "missing" evidence be assumed to be as negative
as possible to the destroying party.
Assuming that's correct, what would the impact be if tSCOg
had some records that are or reasonably might be relevant to
their proposed SCO v IBM litigation in there?
Would this be held to be spoliation of evidence, because
they're willfully petitioning a court to let them destroy
records they know to be relevant (and making no such
disclosure to the bankruptcy court)? Or are they immune if
the court approves this (i.e. can they claim "look, a court
specifically told us we could destroy the records, therefore
there's no reasonable claim of spoliation)? [ Reply to This | # ]

Page 4, paragraph 13:
The Chapter 7 Trustee currently pays
monthly fees to maintain three (3) rental
storage units in Utah (the “Storage
Units”) in which the Obsolete Property is stored.
Would it be
normal to quote the dollar amount at this point? I don't know the conventions
of the relevant legal system but it surprises me that there's no figure
given.
My suspicious mind suggests that this is because the court would
laugh if it saw how (relatively) small the amount was. [ Reply to This | # ]

I presume that it would cost money to have the records disposed of. So if
another party such as Groklaw offerd to buy the records as assets, doesn't the
bankruptcy court have an obligation to take the money for the benefit of the
creditors? I can perhaps envisage and interesting auction.[ Reply to This | # ]

Ever since Stephen

uncertain. In fact I'd be surprised if he was still there.

The SCO scam is of high relevance for the history of
computing, especially regarding the history of operating
systems and free software.
When historic records of such big importance would be

Lets make a collection and offer to buy the buisness records.
Since the company is bancrupt it, the records are of no value.
