I thought it was understood because it was so painfully obvious? If only I had known the world was so stupid I would have published the law myself decades ago...
Good on you! But surely this can't be the only thing that is obvious to you but a marvel to the rest of us. So get cracking and start publishing. Don't miss another opportunity!
The court was asked to decide B not A.
The court was not asked to decide either one of those things. You're not even paying attention.
Kind of sounds like some sort of Tourette's when you say it out loud: “If [Pirate Bay’s] code wouldn’t be so s ASTERISK ASTERISK ASTERISK ASTERISK y we would make it public for everyone to use, so that everyone could start their own bay.”

So you mean that they would need some way to stop people from seeing the reports that the torrent is fake?
Kind of like there would be some good content (accurate comments) and they would need to hide it somehow, maybe using some bad content.
Hmmm...... perhaps this is already a solve (non-)problem. We should get the astroturfers on it right away!
Thank you, nuckfuts.
Now there's something you don't read every day.
Ah yes, one bad patch and we should all NEVER PATCH AGAIN BECAUSE THE SKY IS FALLING!
How is it that you interpret disabling auto-update as meaning "NEVER PATCH AGAIN"? I took it to mean don't patch until you're confident it's safe to do so. Don't you think that's a more reasonable view?
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
