What if the clown is actually someone hired by one of the many enemies that IA made during the years?



He or she is still a clown. What difference does it make who hired him or her? At an individual level one can always disagree to do things that only destroy value.


reasonable people disagree on whether some things are positive or negative value.

IA is one of the go-to examples for that. is it good to make every book ever written freely downloadable (as they were trying with their library project a while back), or is that bad? you and i might think the answer is obvious. we might even agree on it. but we would occupy a rather different world if even a supermajority agreed on that question, in either direction.

We completely agree about the perpetrator. My point was if that is the case, it would implicate that IA enemies were going beyond lawsuits.
