Love it - will add a section with more innovative approaches like this
e.g. was just chatting with a fellow cease-and-desist receiver, Mohammed Shah, who finds comfort in using a different misspelling for the name of the lawyer harassing him, every time he replies
I am completely unclear on whether publishing your project open source gives it (at least, the code, if not any deployed version) any kind of protection if Facebook etc. target it
I would love to get a lawyer's take on that, although I guess it would differ by jurisdiction - California and Ireland are probably the two key ones for most big tech
Yep, that's true - also something I need to reflect in the guide is it's important to understand which jurisdiction you're under, since that'll affect your rights
Usually the terms of service you sign up to make it clear which jurisdiction disputes would be adjudicated in
For me, as a UK citizen/resident it was Ireland. Which is great since I've never been there, but I've heard their courtrooms are lovely in the springtime

Great for morale
