So laws don’t matter as long as in some other jurisdictions or time it’s not illegal?
You are free to disagree with the law as it’s written. You are even free to break the laws if you disagree strongly enough. But you should not expect to be free from the consequences.
Stallman is facing consequences that are not part of the law. This citation of different legal standards provides evidence that extra-legal action was inappropriate.
The title of this post and thread is "Richard M. Stallman resigns", which would mean that this particular discussion is quite literally about the consequences to Stallman (and if they're not, then they're probably off-topic).
>But you should not expect to be free from the consequences.
No one does. its not about not prosecuting anyone for what happened on that Island. Its about Stallmans response to the allegations against someone else. Did you respond to the wrong comment by any chance?
I am the parent and its not what i wrote. I would recommend reading it again.
I also dont see where you made the jump to the legal/illegal argument. Since we are talking about Stallmans speech, we are clearly not discussing illegal behavior but free speech. Or is what Stallman said illegal by now?
