It should be interesting to see Boies do more than dance, at
least I hope he can.[ Reply to This | # ]

PJ, I think you are conflating SCO with its lawyers. SCO *had
no case*, and yet BSF was able to drag it out for 10 years.
In the process, SCO got at least 25M in "investments", all of
which has now been "spent". That's an amazing performance.
Sure, SCO didn't get billions and billions it was dreaming
about, but that was just not realistic (unless IBM or Novell
caved). BSF performed very well, considering what it had to
work with.[ Reply to This | # ]

I suspect Novell picked up Boies for this role now
specifically because of
the history with the DoJ antitrust
suit against Microsoft. Not only did
BS&F put on an
outstanding show at trial, they have an intimate knowledge
of what worked then, what antitrust claims are likely
already exhausted, and
how that history can be leveraged in
the instant action.
As far as this
change in gears from the BS&F role in the
SCO saga...well, haven't we seen
this before? MoFo has
worked both sides as well, if I recall. I'm reminded of
a
line from the bumbling idiot lawyer representing Mr. "Not
Sure" in
Idiocracy: "I like money..." [ Reply to This | # ]

Since, from what I've read, and at least in theory, the SCO suits are still in
play, isn't this a conflict of interest for Boies? Or did the husk of SCO
finally drop any further appeals of it's action against Novell?

Perhaps for Novell playing dirty is the only option left in this court, and they
want the best lawyers for that.[ Reply to This | # ]

David Boies has lost every big case he's ever litigated. I have no ideas why
companies continue to pay thousands of dollars to have a proven loser cost them
money, I know plenty of lawyers who will do that for free.[ Reply to This | # ]

I assume you can imagine my reaction when I got the news. But, as
Dylan sings, people are crazy and times are strange ... I used to care, but
things have changed. When Novell did that toxic patent deal with Microsoft, it
was a sea change. I hope my inner thoughts prove unfounded. But to tell you the
truth, they usually are on the money. It will not amaze me if Novell loses now,
but it's fine if I am proven wrong.
No doubt you were surprised,
but beyond that, I have no idea how you reacted.
Novell's case is so
weak it barely squeaked by in its last appeal. Surviving this one will be even
more difficult. Despite that, you've created expectations that Novell would win.
So are expectations being lowered to more realistic levels now, with the blame
being hung on BSF?
Last time one judge (on the three judge panel)
thought that it would be impossible for Novell to win, but the other two thought
that Novell might have a chance of proving enough to win on one claim. That was
before the trial, so they couldn't see what evidence Microsoft and Novell had,
nor how the witnesses would testify. They had to assume that all of the evidence
would show what Novell said it would show. (All assumptions were made in
Novell's favor.)
This appeal is different from the first because it is
occurring after the trial. Any weaknesses in Novell's evidence and any strengths
of Microsoft's evidence are known now. There are fewer things that can be
assumed in Novell's favor. Unless everything went perfectly for Novell, its
position is necessarily going to be weaker. If Novell couldn't convince all
three judges last time, would it be surprising if it couldn't convince at least
two of them this time?
I think not and I don't think it has anything to
do with BSF.[ Reply to This | # ]
