I'm surprised that some academic lawyers aren't helping take on this case for no cost, due to the precedent it may set and the exposure it will get.
- acqq 13y agoPlease don't diminish the importance of it. This release is unprecedented. For the first time in history the public can actually see the most of the documents related to such kind of orders.

- hondje 13y agoLinking to yourself like that is incredibly tacky
- acqq 13y agoLinking is there to avoid repeating the arguments written in much more detail in the linked post. Is it better when everything is written twice instead in one post? Linking also helps concentrating the relevant arguments to the relevant thread. It's not to "myself" it's to the relevant node in the discussion tree which contains a lot of arguments. If there's anything written where you've found some error you can present your arguments. Attacking persons aren't arguments.
- andrewcooke 13y agooh come on. when it's not confirmed we have threads with people saying "but there's no evidence, you're only assuming". then when it is confirmed we have "but we already knew this". neither adds anything. but people seem to vote up world-weary comments. yay for internet points.
