If you sum the number of days in each step of the Uniform domain name dispute resolution policy you quickly see that it can take tens of days to get a malicious domain shutdown. ICANN has long been in need of the ability to quickly react to burgeoning threats and though the ambiguity of the policy as described is concerning it's not without merits.

SCO v. Novell Goes To the Jury 67

Posted by timothy on Friday March 26, 2010 @07:30PM from the perhaps-it's-the-oj-jury dept.

Excelcia writes "Closing arguments in the six and a bit year old slander of title case between SCO and Novell occurred today and the case is finally in the hands of the jury. It's been an interesting case, with SCO alternately claiming that the copyrights to UNIX did get transferred to them, and that the copyrights should have been transferred to them. 'Judge Ted Stewart said, after the jury left to begin to deliberate, that in all his years on the bench, he's never seen such fine lawyering as in this case.' We're not going to find out the results until at least Tuesday, however, as one juror is taking a long weekend. Great lawyering notwithstanding, we can all hope next week that the Energizer bunny of all spurious lawsuits will finally go away."
