Not a good sign for the Samourai boys. I think they were waiting to see what happened in this case.
Obviously loses due to Supreme Court precedent. We’ve got to stop acting like the underdogs. We are the victors. We have the Constitution on our side. If bitcoin loses, America falls. America will not fall.
Code has no more functional capability than a poison recipe written on a piece of paper. If there is anything reprehensible its not the act of writing the code or the poison recipe but more the act of executing the code and/or cooking the recipe.
Way better analogy than what I came up with 😅. You should be lawyer.
This is terrible news. But the way to preserve our rights is to exercise them. Code is speech. So write it and speak up! nostr:nevent1qqsquz43lxhwfeelyr6dhue8v56jmmdwlskwrya8spk6um958urc62sppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsd3fhv7rped64g77dyf9l7ndmae9mkxdz37099cc6wyzr9jytxg7crqsqqqqqpctp852
First instance judge, right?
Breaking news: Spawn of Satan found running an unjust court room and persecuting the innocent in violation of the law... again.
We need to be supportive of the defendant here. Much like the #samourai case. Code is speech. The precedent has already been established years ago. #freetornado #freesamourai nostr:nevent1qqsquz43lxhwfeelyr6dhue8v56jmmdwlskwrya8spk6um958urc62sppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsd3fhv7rped64g77dyf9l7ndmae9mkxdz37099cc6wyzr9jytxg7crqsqqqqqpctp852
That does not sound a good thing. I wonder sometime whether these judges of subject experts to be able to make such proclamations.
Judge will be overturned on appeal. Which district court is this I forgot?
If I understand correctly, the argument isn't as simple as "code is speech", but "writing code is speech" right? Executing code would be taking action and fortunately the developers only write code and any and all execution of the code was lawful. Like making a knife and testing it to cut meat, fruit, but then a consumer 4 years later uses it to kill people.
