Sincere question, how is this not transparently a pretext technicality for with-cause to avoid settlement, given what banks tolerate from people who make them money?

Also, “canteen” is British for “cafeteria”

Why do people upvote paywalled links? This post has 8 upvotes already. Why? Were those 8 people actually able to read the article somehow?

FT paywalls most of the news but not this.

Why is it legal to post on HN links to stolen content?

1. there are no internet police

2. no theft has occurred

Fair-Use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

This is disputed however, fun read here https://gould.usc.edu/why/students/orgs/ilj/assets/docs/25-3...

Between this comment and your submission history consisting almost entirely of FT links, you really aren’t trying very hard to conceal the fact that you work for FT.

Why are links with paywalls even allowed to be submitted to HN? I imagine if I submitted dozens of links to my personal website where the only viewable content was a bunch of donation links, my account would be banned.

Good Point, maybe we should just start flagging all posts that are pay-walled? Why feed traffic to a site and pay their advertisers when they don't want us.
