When BayStar financial demanded their money back from SCO, many felt serious glee at the possibility this action would seriously hurt SCO. As this story unfolds, however, it depresses more than ever: BayStar appears to be leveraging a weak SCO for more power, and more control, over the SCO intellectual property lawsuits.
This really stinks. What may be unfolding is a group of Intellectual Property con artists (my opinion of SCO right now) may be hijacked by a group of IP pirate sharks in lawyer clothing. With no company or customers to support, BayStar can jettison all that unprofitable baggage and concentrate on lawsuits. At least that's how their comments in the New York TImes read to me today. Disgusting.
