Possible solution is to use a legal ripped backup MP3's and have the physical media in a pooled Escrow.
When you buy the CD you make a legal high quality backup with a unique ID attached to each file. Then you send the physical media to a clearing house for storage and future handling. When you get ready to "sell" you CD you upload the MP'3 and destroy them on your computer.
The CD can now be "sold" and the buyer that takes legal title leaves the physical media at the clearing house and downloads the Uniquely identifiable Mp3.
Rinse and repeat.
It should be a subscription model with say $2 monthly fees to cover cost, and a deposit of say $30. The Deposit will be the "money" used for the transactions. Buy a "used" CD at a standard price of $10 or whatever and you deposit is now $20 and you have one named CD on your balance sheet.
The person that sells ses his Deposit going to $40. You could even pay Sales tax to strengthen your legal calim that this is a real sale.
This comes from Groklaw that has a lot of interesting comments. Name is Yarro by the way.

Unless you are using the DMCA to get rubber-stamped subpoenas like the RIAA, a subpoena means you showed a judge enough evidence to convince them that you are probably right on a point related to the case.
The fact that IBM got a subpoena indicates that laid some pretty damning evidence in front of a judge. Any indication of which jurisdiction issued the subpoena?
If it was the courts there in Utah, that at least SQUARES the power of the evidence in my opinion given that SCO/Canopy has the hometown advantage.

Amazon Marketplace has a whole new section for selling and buying Textbooks.
They claim it takes 60 sec to make your textbooks available via their Used Textbooks section. Worth trying to sell one or two just to see how it works.
Read this story about the hapless patsy FBI claim was masterminding the latest attack.
It's funny but quite sad at the same time.

SCO is doing their utmost to *maximize* damage caused by any code, should it exist at all.
Good point.
If the prior 9 affirmative defenses that IBM has claimed fails they have this down as number 10.

* Affirmative Defenses
Pages 17 and 18 of IBM's Answer and Counterclaim raise ten boilerplate affirmative defenses. However, of particular interest might be the Tenth Defense, set forth on page 18: SCO has failed, in whole or in part, to mitigate its alleged damages.
Since my comment has been modded a Troll I think you should read this posting from another Canopy Company employee.
Quote:
As an employee of a company in the same office buildings as SCO and partly funded by Canopy Group, I strongly encourage a boycott of all companies funded by the Canopy Group.
There was a lot of buzz about mergers a few weeks ago. It seemed that everyone was going to join into one large company called, you know it: SCO!.......
As you know 4% of TrollTech is owned by Canopy of SCO fame. We need to put some pressure on Trolltech to make sure that nobody from Canopy is on the board or has any saying whatsoever over Trolltech
I understand your point but someone needs to sue for infringing the GPL. If there is lot's of GPL code in SCO's UnixWare or OpenServer, the current licensees can just stop paying claiming it's GPL the whole thing.
Do as I, I always keep a few people incl. address on a little "shit list" You can then use cut and paste when you get somewhere on the net where they ask your personal info.
I'd ask if you'd found the right sort of isolated wasteland for your citadel of dread yet, but that would be a silly question; you're in Utah, after all.

Maybe you didn't see it but there was a story on /. here a few weeks ago about the native port delayed. They are in dire need of help.

Look here for a counter argument.

By the way make sure you call FBI and claim MailFraud if you get an Invoice from SCO.
Or 5 years and below
