It cuts both ways though. A judge could easily expand the definition of what a hyperlink was beyond what is reasonable due to vagueness in the law because the "reasonable person" test takes account for the people that think ch

Fair use only exists in case law, and treaties have the power to override the Constitution itself (IIRC), let alone things like case law or the legal code. That's why TPP is such a game-changer.

I'm curious on why you feel that the Swedish prosecutor delayed the case, and kept it in a stalemate even though the Swedish courts have stated (as others have stated here) that Assange does not need to be present in Sweden. If they

Well, my point was that the 100% electric cars don't run on gas. They would have to purchase a new car to take advantage of the gas prices, which is a higher barrier than just choosing to fill up with "electric fuel" or &quot
