Have those but been harvested? Did the users get compensation?

The day that has any effect aside from bloating the thread, I'll accept they are not stupid.

Ah yes, the old "laws don't work so let's get rid of them" argument.

Nobody said to get rid of the laws. I'm telling to enforce them. Posting that and not following through is why people thinks they are stupid.

I'll root hard for anybody suing them. If they don't because they think it's impossible to win it because it's hard, then, they are the ones de-facto giving away the law.
