Supposing I’m Fred The Fed and I want to shut down Hexbear.net
What if I try to make a case that admins tolerate sharing copyrighted material in violation of Statute XYZ, so the site is illegal and should be seized.
You might say, “Copyright laws are dumb, man! Who cares!” but that doesn’t matter. Tell that to the law.
Should we get a lawyer’s advice on this? What steps does the site need to take to avoid heat?
And I’m telling you that would be meaningless. You don’t have to break the law for the feds to shut you down. Even if you’re legally in the right you’d still have to go to court over it, you’d still have legal fees, and you’d still lose even assuming you could afford it. “The Law” only applies to folks who can afford the law and even then only if the government decides to let it.
Absolute defeatism doesn’t seem like a great strategy
Defeatism is when you acknowledge that The Law serves the interest of capital rather than the interest of the people, apparently?
It’s joever (on mobile so imagine a giving up emoji of your choice)
