After reading the thread the conclusion seemed to be that courts can not order you to lie, but may try to hold you in contempt of court for failing to update your canary. If all actions but the one the government wants are ment with punishm

I asked in the referenced thread for any US precedence of forcing an innocent to work against their will. I do not know of any. If the courts, NSA, congress has been forcing innoscents to work against their will then it will greatly change

This would imply that the court can order you to lie to your customers. I think this is not the case. If there is any precedence for any US court requiring public citizen to lie I definitely want to know about it. If the courts are acting l

Here is my understanding from a non-expert. The obviousness is suposed to come from if `a` causes `b`, `b` can not have caused `a` because that would need some form of time travel. `b` could cause `a2` though which is very similar to `a` bu
