I need to create a script or keyboard shortcut that just automatically pastes "The law is not a dumb automaton that can be fooled with your 'clever hacks'" on HN threads about anything in the legal sphere.
- coretx 9y agoThat would not be wise since it would not be true. The law is written by dumb people and executed by autocratic bureaucrats with a career wish. Ironically, it's not just pirates applying "clever hacks" - in fact, it's mostly anti-piracy outfits who do but when they do it we call it legal engineering. Both legal engineering and clever hacks eventually result in updated or new legislation. On both occasions, law is effectively written by the willing and not so much by democratic entities and the rule of law in general.
