This is an opinion piece and not very informative.

  Nothing wrong with opinion pieces on Hacker News.

    I also can't help myself from reading opinion pieces from Matt Levine most days of the week.

  It does explain why the situation looks weird, for anyone who didn't understand that already. There's not much else you can say about it, other than joke about it.

  On the contrary, there's lots of information. It's the first real attempt at analyzing the legality of it all that I've seen.

    And Mr. Levine's writing is highly entertaining, in addition to giving a clear explanation that the layman can understand of the story. And the entertainment value is because the situation is actually ridiculous to begin with.
