If you want to make that choice then great for you. You have the choice. Being sued by a corporatioin shouldn't strip you of those choices.

 

Shit happens in life for whatever reasons, and then you have to change priorities.  And some people get sued by bringing things on themselves.  That will strip you of choices.  And still, no, he doesn't have to live as a monk as you have falsely perceived on others.

I think you're taking what I said to literally. I'm not defending him, but I do think he has the right to take a vacation just like everybody else.


What you're trying to do is make everyone who is reasonably questioning Geohot's actions look bad by claiming that they are saying that he shouldn't "have the right" to go anywhere by being a "monk."  No, I'm (and anyone) not taking you literally.  You are interjecting unnecessary negativity to fuel a false argument.  When I reasonably refuted your tactic, you now make excuses.  And yes, he has the right to take a vacation.  But when you're financial situation changes for whatever reasons, you might have to reassess your priorities.

My priorities are fine. I have that choice because a big company isn't suing me and screwing me out of my own money in legal fees.

 

Yep.  When you screw around, you get screwed.  It happens.  Just be glad you didn't publicly screw with a corporation's IP.


Whether or not I did screw with a corporation's IP, just because a corporation CLAIMED that I had screwed with their IP, I should be on the no-fly list and g bankrupt in the attempt to defend myself? Your points are completely flawed.
