What a complete piece of shit. Threatening a child and his parent because the child dumped some memory and found some file. He also knows that there is exactly zero chance for any legal actions towards that kid (and of course it is not his decision in any case), nevertheless he, the super helpful lawyer, gets to make threats however he wants.
Genuinely disgusting. How do these people live with themselves? "Honey, today I made a kid afraid he was going to jail, because he copied some file of something we sold to him, how was your day?".
- jarsin 2y agoI thank god I never became a lawyer. They are $300+/hr thugs for hire whose only mission is to bully you into complete submission until you pay to make them go away.

- squarefoot 2y agoWorst thing is that to fight a lawyer you need another lawyer, so if taken as a category they never lose.
- CPLX 2y agoIn my experience they cost a lot more than $300 an hour.

- ryandrake 2y agoUnfortunately there is no lawful way to penalize someone for being an absolute piece of shit, since being a piece of shit is totally legal. Shame doesn’t work: people don’t even feel or respond to shame anymore. You can’t punch them, even if they deserve it. So lawyers like this just live their shitty lives, threatening children and sleeping soundly at night on mattresses stuffed with $100 bills.

- ryandrake 2y agoBoycotts almost never work. Yet, somehow we keep reaching for that ineffective tool whenever the discussion of corporate bad behavior comes up. Vote With Your Wallet sounds nice, but just doesn't actually work in reality.
- aerostable_slug 2y agoBud Light and the generally chilling effect on corporate "progressive messaging" (or however someone would choose to phrase it) their boycott has had would like a word with you. Boycotts work quite well, but you have to have a sufficient base of customers to participate — and it helps to avoid spurring counter-boycotts: Chick-Fil-A's business increased after some chose to boycott them. It also helps when the company's product is commodity swill that's easy enough to rotate out (Bud Light) vs. a generally positive customer experience (CFA).
- DangitBobby 2y agoThreatening people to make them behave a certain way is actually illegal, even if that threat is legal action. Especially if you are trying to stop someone from doing something well within their rights, knowingly abusing your privileged access to the law as a lawyer.
