If I used the USPS to distribute audio tape of pirated material, then the 5th Circuit would argue I should be denied mail service since that's an available remedy? It'll be interesting to see what SCOTUS does with this.
- AtlasBarfed 2y agoIs it? What tells you that SCOTUS would rule against their favorite immortal legal individuals in the world, huge corporations?
- taylodl 2y agoIt's a crap shoot WRT how SCOTUS would rule on this, but we can be reasonably confident some legal contortions are going to be involved. Or maybe they'll surprise us and give a simple, straightforward ruling. Who knows? BTW, the ancient Chinese curse applies here: may you live in interesting times.
- justinclift 2y agoNah. It's more like you were doing that, but the mail service stopped delivering to both of your neighbours instead. Because the audio tape piracy agency uses cheapest-bidder outsourced labour that doesn't know (or care) to get the details right.
