I didn't, actually, but it's a fun thought experiment :) Python code is instructions that are executed in a very precise manner, they could, in theory, encrypt a hard-drive. You execute the program the same way you execute binary instructions. HTML is a description of a problem, there are different interpretations, and different solutions, depending on screen-size, etc. You don't always get the same result. Technically, JS could mine crypto, but I don't believe that's illegal (correct me if I'm wrong?), just very inconvienient, and there wasn't any JS involved here. You could make a browser that leaks data due to misinterpretation of the HTML. The problem also lies with the eager-evaluation of HTML, it's difficult to put a disclosure or ask for consent, such as the responsibility clause of most software licenses, without greatly annoying the user... > makes developers uncomfortable with this court ruling Guilty. At the end of the day, we need to get stuff done, without creating a private internet infrastructure for our customer. The small guy is at a disadvantage here, not big companies.
