RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)The statutes are on the books in those libraries and apply to blockchains. The question is to what extent these other online precedents are analogous when it comes to interpreting how they are applied. You merely assumed that they are entirely apropos, but there are obvious differences you neglected which I had to point out to you.
