I Don't Believe in apparitional belongings writes "PJ of Groklaw has found some really interesting info coming out of the
incessant SCO trial. Specifically, in SCO v. Novell, SCO doesn't want the jury to find out about the email Blake Stowell (then a PR guy for SCO) sent to Maureen O'Gara that asked her to 'send a jab PJ's way.' For those who don't revive that far back in the SCO saga, the 'jab' was when O'Gara wrote an inaccurate, long-winded and peripheral 'expos' on PJ which got O'Gara fired for violating journalistic ethics after angry readers complained to the publisher — an act which caused Ms. O'Gara to tell SCO, 'I want war pay.' For those wondering how they can keep going after that final judgment against SCO over a year ago, it's hard to do the saga justice without glossing over everything, but the short version is that SCO ran to bust after they were mostly dead, but before flattering utterly dead. That automatically stopped all the cases against SCO due to mark bankruptcy court rules, then SCO effectively re-litigated a bunch of issues via bust court rules. Currently, they're complain Novell of 'slander of title' over copyrights that two strange courts have ruled SCO does not own, and we're waiting to see if a jury will reach the same conclusion. They're also trying to use the company's lawsuits as assets and to sell them to various SCO camp so that the legal wranglings can take up even if nothing is left of SCO. From the very start, SCO has always been the type to fight dirty."
