SCO Investor Changing the Deal

Posted by timothy on Wednesday December 10, 2003 @06:50AM from the money-is-linked-to-control dept.

Kurt Wall writes "According to this story, recent SCO investor Royal Bank of Canada appears to be changing its tune. RBC, along with BayStar Capital, invested $50 million in SCO, but now has changed the deal to give it veto power over the payment of the 20% contingency fees SCO's IP lawyers will get. As to the wisdom of the investment itself, an RBC spokesman would only say that the 'investment in SCO is passive, made to hedge an economic exposure resulting from client transactions.' Such as the SCO case collapsing, perhaps?"

Blue Cat [Supplementary Article] [Repost] by Anonymous Coward · 2003-12-10 07:01 · Score: -1, Offtopic
Blue Cat is the cartoon series you should of heard of, but didn't.. despite the fact that it is one of the most popular series in China. It is a remarkably long series having over 1500 episodes. In fact, it displaced The Simpsons as having the longest running time for any cartoon series ever, according to The Guiness Book of World Records. Amazingly, the show is free for Chinese broadcasters.. the studio makes money from licensed merchandise instead. You can view a few episodes from the series starting with this one here -> (rtsp://218.63.201.143:554/movie6/lxj30922/%c0%b6% c3%a81.rm). Don't forget to remove the space from the URL. Increment the show number from 1.rm upwards for more videos.. there are at least 70 of them available online.

Enjoy!

Suffering from Slashbotitis? Sick of the same old mindless crap? Tired of hearing about SCO for the fourth time today? Then browse at -1 for all new articles, opinions, jokes, and of course the regular spew of raving lunatics. It's all part of the fun.. and it's better than reading at 1. In fact, I don't know about you but I'd rather read at 0 and below if I could. Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of the same old recycled crap such as:
- Another Internet Explorer bug. M$ sure does suck.
- Linux rulez the world!
- U.S. nukes Mexico by the year 2009 says Ho Chi Minh. Oops, that article is over 30 years old. Not news, nothing to see, drive on through.
- BSD is dying.
- Darl McBride, heh heh, McBride, snicker, McBride, get it? Heheh..
- Apple is great, Jobs is God. The iPod is the greatest invention ever! (Besides the Newton, of course.)
Sure, topics that elicit those responses bring in a lot of ad impressions, and the slashbots complain and question whether or not a news item is for nerds if the article does not conform with the rest. Unfortunately, a narrow range of topics make Jack a dull boy. Talk about selling out!

Yeah, send your martyrs to Iraq to force the invading American occupying force into another humiliating Vietnam style surrender.

Uh...they're bringing it on, Georgie, just about as fast as your medics can carry away the bodies.
