You misunderstand the law.
Common sense is bedrock defining feature of the law.
There are all sorts of laws that have words and interpretations which could be argued either way.
And the way that we choose between those interpretations is often through things like juries. IE, an every day layman's "common sense".
> it's about how this particular law defines a store,
And how that law defines a store, and could be interpreted between competing definitions is through common sense. It's through a human, a person, using their common sense to understand the law, and ultimately decide if that is how a store is defined.
- crazygringo 3y ago> You misunderstand the law. Common sense is bedrock defining feature of the law. But common sense isn't all there is. The law is also full of technical definitions, and words which in a legal sense don't correspond to their "common" sense, which is why people spend years in law school. And like I said, there are multiple valid ways of defining the scope of a digital store. What matters here is the technical, legal definition in this particular case. Not the "common sense" of somebody on the street.
