Migrants to IJ, 2007

Well, and it hasn't helped that synocdochic over on LJ, who used to work for the company and has generally been a reasonable and reliable voice, has gone around telling everyone that it's a great article and he's saying things people should listen to. What she's had to say strongly suggests to me that a lot of LJ's staff don't entirely understand how the law works, either. They're tech people, and there's no reason they should understand it -- it's complex and technical, and the law works in ways that I suspect are antithetical to the mindset you need to write good code -- but it would be nice if they stopped with the loud perpetuation of misinformation. Or at least said, "This is how it looks to us from our side," rather than, "This is what the law is, stop arguing, !!111eleventyone!!"
