Yup. And everyone acts like they have the source to pour over every line. Whoever built the app probably wrote it in such a way that those options are not presented to Apple's reviewers.

Because, y'know, how hard would that be?

But no, Apple bad, because Apple!

On top of that, debts die with the debtor. If a debt cannot be collected within the debtor's lifetime, then the creditor is just out of luck. It's over. The debt goes *poof*.

That's not entire true. They can sue the estate to attempt collection from whatever assets remain after death. They can't go after family directly though AFAIK, which I assume was your point.

A lot of people who weigh in on this (both here and in other forums) seem to forget one important fact:

The majority of WordPress users are corporate types, and really won't care as long as their site keeps working and they can use all the same plugins as their friends/competitors. Most of them probably won't even hear about all this.

WordPress will continue on as it always has; a fork is unlikely to be successful; the only question is what wounds WP Engine and Automattic will sustain in the process of dealing with this.

And for anyone who gets burned by it, they'll be on WP Engine, and they'll probably blame WP Engine and switch to a competitor. QED.

Just file criminal charges against the involved IP addresses under CFAA. Yes, against the actual IP addresses, not the people using them.

It works for the police when they confiscate money, right? They can confiscate the offending IP's and never return them. Problem solved!

Or something.

For the sarcasm-impaired: /s.
