SCO DOS Harming Innocent Bystanders

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the scoop-of-sco-every-day dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The SCO-IBM-Linux controversy has certainly caused quite a stir. Unfortunately the vigilantes conducting the DOS attacks against SCO are harming innocent by-standers as described in this e-Week story. " Choice conspiracy theory quote: 'Given SCO's behavior recently, it's just as likely that they're attacking themselves in their continued attempt to pump up their stock price'

      Why doesn't hosting facility in Lindon, Utah just cancel SCO's account? After all SCO is the reason for all of these atacks.

      If I were SCO's provider, I would cancel their service in a heartbeat. With reasonings such as excessive bandwidth usage and the like with out having to disagree or agree with SCO's point. SCO has become a liability to their service provider and the service provider has a right to cancel their service inorder to maintian the quality of service to their other customers.

    The invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq _really_ harmed innocent bystanders; does that mean we shouldn't have done it? Maybe people should be smart enough to figure out that Sadaam Hussein is a target, and not stand in front of him? This is Darwinian natural selection at work folks... either you distance yourself from the people that are going down, or you go down with them!

  10. Troll Tech needs to come clean. Boycott QT ? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yes, SCO is a front for the Canopy Group, a "venture capital" firm founded by Ray Noorda and fronted by Ralph Yarrow. Their modus operendi is to sue the hell out of people. Unfortuneately, Troll Tech is tied up with them. Troll Tech makes linux products such as QT. Canopy openly owns a small number of shares. Granted, some people will score this post a troll by saying that only 6% does not mean control? However, Trolltech needs to let the Linux community know exactly what it's relationship to Canopy is. Do Canopy employees sit on the board? Do they share employees with Canopy group companies. Do they owe money to Canopy? Does Canopy or Canopy related people have special rights, like the right to buy more stock at a special price? Who controls "the Troll Tech Foundation". Do any of the "employees" that own a large chunk of the stock have agreements with Canopy?

    Linux users should boycott all Canopy Group companies, including Troll Tech unless those comanies can demonstrate that they have a firewall between them and Canopy.

    Trolltech, please come clean on this issue. You owe it to your users and potential customers.
