I love the use of analogy to describe the situation to those who may not understand exactly what Weev did. But can we decide law simply on analogy? Which analogy is a more accurate tale of what Weev did? What I like about this article is it explains what Weev did and how incredibly common his techniques were, without too much analogy. Analogies may be much more effective, but a direct explanation feels a lot more genuine.
