Honestly the fact the court allows that too...
So glad people got rid of slavery, right? US is disgusting with the corporation bootlicking.
that's not technically true, the 13th amendment only outlawed slavery if you haven't been convicted of a crime.
Edit: besides that technicality, I do agree.
Yeah, but my point was that this is just slavery for everyone, only with a different name.
I understood you correctly, but were you aware that American corporations including McDonald's, Target, Whole Foods, and Microsoft have been profiting heavily from US prison labor without the the legal requirement to compensate the laborers fairly, provide sick days, or provide decent working conditions? https://sites.law.berkeley.edu/sustainability-compliance/corporations-use-of-prison-labor/
Shit's fucked if/when you get convicted of a crime, whether your Gary or anyone else.
Edit: added context
Because Nintendo lawyers ran circles around the court
Some other guy said something about costing Nintendo 65 million. I don’t buy that claim. They were still profitable as a company during that time, so it’s just a show of force to scare other script kiddies from fucking with Nintendo. Fuck em, emulated breath of the wild is better than on console anyway
"Ran circles around the court" - a good court and legal system doesn't let that happen, it needs to be fixed.
Very true. It should happen but it does unfortunately
