SCO claims IBM destroyed evidence

· by Luke Ponio

SCO is still at it. This has to be the most desperate move that I’ve seen out of SCO so far. They are now claiming that IBM deleted some source code that would have proven IBM guilty for copyright infringement, essentially destroying evidence. SCO’s original lawsuit against IBM was filed back in 2003 and has yet to go to trial. Since then, they have had two-thirds of their 296 claims dismissed, yet they will not give up. Will this lawsuit every make it to trial? Many lawyers say no. I am starting to agree with them.
