SCO To Counter Groklaw With 'Fair' Coverage

Posted by timothy on from the whiplash-backlash dept.

linuxwrangler writes "Tired of being 'flamed, dissected and dismissed' on Groklaw, SCO has decided to fight back. SCO's site, scheduled for launch on November 1, will be called prosco.net. Just yesterday SCO CEO and favorite /. whipping-boy Darl McBride gave a speech comparing the software industry to the 'wild west' and warning companies that they must protect their intellectual property or risk being 'sacked by open source-touting bandits.'"

    ...because they'll get sued by Fox for infringing on intellectual property.

    How long before they have to shut off comments or block users en masse because the comments and postings are all negative.

    I RTFA. SCO will not be allowing the public to post comments.

    Clearly you did not read either of the linked articles, for in one of them, they specifically stated that there would be no ability to comment on documents on the site.

    Isn't sco.com pro-SCO already? Need they register a new domain name to make it a point that the company is, in fact, pro-themselves? I guess they had nothing new to say, so had to do *something* to keep themselves in the news.
