I suspect the LV R_J is currently writing up a biopic article on The SCO Group and CEO Darl McBride, and McBride gave them the idea to threaten to sue every website that ever linked to them for copyright infringement if every website on the internet doesn’t sign a licensing contract.

One would think they had to offer the contract in order to be 'harmed' by failure to sign an agreement.

Sue first, ask questions later is hardly the way to conduct business.

We'd have gladly not had a bloody thing to do with them if they requested it. That failure to make their grievance known prior to entering into court action may be the weakest link in their case, aside from Fair Use.
