@lykso@tiny.tilde.website @selfsame I disagree that any debate in the legal system is hopeless. There are plenty of people who went into the legal profession to fix things and sometimes actually do. Some of them even belong to organizations that work more towards freedoms for the general population and not for corporate interest. I'll leave looking for such orgs as an "exercise for the reader" but I bet you could pick out a couple if you tried.

I'm also wondering why you started by saying anything in the legal system is "purely for show" and then backed off to saying the monied "generally" get what they want. It sounds like you aren't fully convinced of your own argument.
