SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code
from the da-da-approach-to-business dept. An anonymous reader writes "Along with suing Novell - it was announced today that SCO has been lobbying Congress about the horrifying ways that Linux and the rest of open source software saves users money, allows others to use the software anyway they see fit and 'gasp' causes SCO to not make as much money as they would like. Along with all of the usual FUD. OSAIA has the details (as well as a rebuke)." Darl's words will seem pretty transparent, even funny, to anyone aware of the widespread acceptance and use of Free / Open Source software (by individuals, governments, non-profits, and even companies like SCO) -- but you might have to point this out to your servants in Congress.

West Publishing Fires and Sues FindLaw Co-Founder Tim Stanley If you accept declarations by West executives in three courts, West fired Stanley on April 7, 2003. West and Stanley signed a Separation Agreement. Since then, West sued Stanley over the agreement in federal court in Nevada. Stanley objected to jurisdiction in Nevada and said the issues belong before the courts of California. Stanley filed an action in state court in California. The Nevada court declined to give West an injunction against Stanley. West dismissed in Nevada and re-filed essentially the same complaint in federal court in Minnesota. On January 7, 2004, the court in Minnesota issued a temporary injunction against Stanley that shut down justia.com. According to West, justia.com is "for all intents and purposes FindLaw II,"2 and as such violates Stanley's covenant not to compete with West. West moved to stay Stanley's California action and leave matters in the hands of the Minnesota court. [LLRX.com] 4:27:55 PM

from the sue-you-sue-anybody dept. Like2Byte writes "The RIAA is at it again. This time, Yahoo! News is reporting that 532 file sharers' IP addresses are being submitted to the courts instead of their names because ISPs decline to name people and the courts previous blocks. Music lawyers filed the newest cases against 'John Doe' defendants -- identified only by their numeric Internet protocol addresses -- and expected to work through the courts to learn their names and where they live."
