I've gotten so tired of the "Why is this on HN" and then someone posts that guidelines link (note that this is not a criticism of your comment). I wish we had a canonical discussion thread that's led with an instance of "Why is this on HN", followed by someone's post of the guidelines link, followed by an "evergreen" discussion forum where folks can debate why non-tech related things are featured on HN - anytime someone posts that "why" comment, someone can link to that. Let alone the fact that the basic mechanism of the site is not a mystery. Someone posts a link, and folks looking at the "new" tab upvote it, hence - it makes it to the front page. It's on the front page because people found it interesting! Who the fuck cares if it's not a technical article. Furthermore, this article in particular is an example of a successful, noble "hack" of the legal system and as such deserves a mention on hacker news.
