I've read that. It was a very good article. Think I even commented on it when it hit HN, but I don't recall offhand. But for all that, they have to extradite him first. They probably will, mind you, but it remains to be seen. There have been enough goofs already to create at least a little doubt.
I'm not saying they've done nothing illegal, just that the argument over the notices isn't a particularly strong one. Like I said, there are much better arguments.
I read that too, though I skimmed a few sections. I think I recall a comment from a lawyer (possibly a prosecutor?) who said that if they could prove even half of those claims at trial, they'd have the MU crew down for criminal infringement many times over.
There's no question that this is an uphill battle for them.
