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.
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.
