   It's really funny just how poorly this has aged, despite many still treating it like a silver bullet "gotcha".

     I wish more people brought up that case where demonstrators against a mining company held a rally on a mining town property of the company, were kicked out and court ruled that since it was the ONLY way they could protest against the company, they had the right to do so.

     @Morghur @CatLord @gabriel Did you know that Microsoft has been under audit since 2007? They just keep dragging out their case with the IRS for as long as possible because the legal fees are less than the taxes they owe. Point is, if a tech giant wants to just not obey the law, they have the resources to use the governments own processes against them. The laws don't really matter either way until we have a system willing to enforce them fairly.
