I thought so too, but Bing really, really sucks. I've left it as the default on my son's computer since it integrates nicely with Microsoft's parental controls. My son is not a sophisticated 9-year old, his queries are very, very simple. And yet it still returns utter trash results, littered with malware at the worst, and machine-generated content farm crap at the best. I repeat the queries on google and it's surprising how different they are.

How should unjust laws be dealt with if not for test cases?
I find "I broke this law so punish me, but I will fight it otherwise legally as best I can" to be an honorable stance, at least compared to much of today's behavior. Now I often see unlawful protesters surprised when laws are upheld against them, and largely acting like that's unfair and shouldn't have happened. They want the opposite of a test case, which I guess is anarcho-capitalism.

He's also an impressively unsympathetic character in all this. If he had kept his mouth shut, some fraction of bystanders would have taken a charitable viewpoint because of the glowing coverage of his past. His continual interviews have made that a lot harder, and I cannot take a position other than one of "he's a greedy dumbass that got in way over his head" and "he's a complete and utter conniving scumbag".
I know very little about Ellison outside of the wood nymph silliness, and so don't have the same burning desire for her to see the inside of a prison cell for decades.
Do you think everyone is wrong about it? It's popular because it's a legitimately good game in a very approachable genre, and happens to be the best game version of one of the most popular IPs ever.
I don't care about Harry Potter at all (I've read half the books to my kids...) but I'm enjoying the game.
