Objection. Hearsay, your Honor.
- mpyne 13y agoHearsay is when you repeat someone else's testimony that you (supposedly) heard. Instead that person should make their testimony directly, in their own words. The assertion you replied to is a simple assertion, not hearsay. Just look at the income MegaUpload received from each file hosted and correlate to whether it is infringing or not and you can prove or disprove the assertion.
- vy8vWJlco 13y agoIt would depend on how rayiner formed that opinion.
- mpyne 13y agoI would argue it depends more on your definition of "big part of". :) He could be accidentally correct, after all, if you happen to agree with his definition.
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoObjection. Bullshit, your Honor. Better?
- mpyne 13y agoI don't think it's too much to ask that if you go and use legal terms as if you're pitching a legal defense, that those terms are actually used correctly. Especially when the objection is about the form of a response and not the actual content. You could certainly argue that rayiner hasn't provided justification with his comment, but unless you've been through MegaUpload's books you saying "BULLSHIT" has just as much (and as little) meaning as what rayiner said.
