   @bangskij @404mediaco That sounds false and like the made-up legal theory the vendor believes will be true if they repeat it enough. You repeating it is simping for them. Even if you believe it has some force now, FFS stop repeating it.

     It's amazing how many bonkers legal takes we've heard about this over the past few weeks. :)

     We've been accused of everything from fraud, causing a danger to national security, insider trading, up to of course all possible violations of IP law. We've seen copyright law being applied to trains and intellectual property rights being interpreted as 'the author can do anything they want'. We've seen contract law translated to 'if it wasn't prohibited then it's okay'.
