If the corporate info in the terms of use are accurate (Shenzhen Langya Electronics Co., Ltd registered in the Republic of Ireland) then the company would already be bankrupted and assets transferred to a duplicate company in the time it takes a prosecutor lick the envelope Edit: This ToS is hilarious No Data Mining or Harmful Code.

> the company would already be bankrupted and assets transferred to a duplicate company in the time it takes a prosecutor lick the envelope I've always been told that judges are in fact humans who can see that for the no-op it is and are unlikely to be amused by such a stunt.

  This is a Chinese company we're talking about. I'm not sure how much influence an American judge is going to have.

      If I remember correctly, quite a few companies register in Ireland for use as a tax haven?

  I'd like to remind of a few priority items if you're in the US: 1. We desperately need to fix incentives for prosecutors. We as a people need to decide what we are trying to optimize for because I'm pretty sure we are not trying to optimize for a near 100% conviction rate. Prosecutors and attorney generals are humans and they react to incentives. 2. We must repeal the CFAA. While an appeals court has apparently ruled that a terms of services (TOS) violation is not a criminal offense, because we have not fixed 1 (above), this will continue to be a problem. As impossible it might seem to repeal, I think it is much easier than to do 1. Some people might say that we need the CFAA in some form and that we just need to amend it. Say no to such calls for "moderation". You wouldn't pick the "middle road" between being alone and being dead. I want to be very much alive. The "middle way" of pleasing everyone doesn't always work. Repeal the CFAA (and don't replace it with anything).
