Run and hide?
Wouldn't it be better to crowdfund a suit for a knowingly false claim? Or lobby the powers that be to improve things to remove "knowingly" from the text?
- betwixthewires 6y agoWhat do you mean "run and hide"? Developing tools to protect yourself from this nonsense is running and hiding? Is it only winning if you win the hard way? Was the development of BitTorrent running and hiding?
- kelnos 6y agoI think the parent's point is that instead of depending on tools that are hard to shut down, we should be working to change the legal climate that makes them necessary. IMO we should do both.
- belorn 6y agoCrowdfunding can bring in a lot of money, but I have some doubt that it can outcompete RIAA/MPA in terms of lobbying money.
- oliwarner 6y agoCall me naive but just having the most money shouldn't be the make-or-break for laws; making the right argument has value too. The money's to grease the wheels, to get your argument to the right people, etc.
