Your first 4 points apply to virtually every other country I know, to varying degrees. As for jailing the guy, it might sound surprising, but it is only so because a lot of people dont know how advanced the US is in terms of freedom of spee

Read: everybody who knew him outside the field. And do you have any evidence that the UK is become an Orwellian state? I am really surprised at the cheer amount of irresponsible comments in HN lately.

This is a very inaccurate comment. How is he "thumbing his nose at US copyright law"? And since when does copyright infringement pursuit only get triggered when the infringer decides to show off?

It might be unrelated, but I followed the link to the critique of Bertrand Russell's history of Western Philosophy. The author claims its inaccurate, and proceeds to say anything about it but why its inaccurate. For instance, it says that t

How about attacks on privacy that use other channels? I dont quite understand the idea tat if you want to protect your privacy, you should stay away from the internet. This, 1) gives other privacy invaders a free pass, and 2) makes the inte

Follow that line and you will end up with two to three websites in the whole world of internet. He did not rip it off, in fact I see it as a favor for the original author, since its clearly stated that the second work is based on the first.
