Prohibition-era USA was , if not failed, at least a failing society. There was by this point pretty widespread public corruption and general lack of respect for the law. Anyway, wasn't the tax evasion also an actual crime? It'

Primary publishers have to make that judgement all the time. If you get a book published by Harper Collins they're not going to let you put "anything not specifically already ruled defamation by a court" in it.

The thing is, Tesla didn't even ignore it: in Type 2 / CCS2 markets, Tesla vehicles from the Model S onwards came with at least native Type 2 AC charging (and from the Model 3 onwards, with CCS2 - there wasn't the physical sp

Doesn't the same sort of apply to eg. Microsoft should give you access to all of their existing software titles when you buy an xbox? It's not like you paying for Flight Sim now compensates them for doing more work.
