I am a moderator, and I have not been arguing in this thread, and I agree that the bold, exclamation points, and reiterating the same point multiple times are beginning to cross the line of Rule 1: "Discuss things politely." Bold text does come across as shouting to many readers, whether it is meant to or not.
The LOC ruling is obviously of interest to many here, and speculation about its possible implications is natural, but no one, not even a lawyer specializing in copyright law, can accurately predict how this will play out. The US legal system is very complex, deliberately so. I would suggest that all participants in this conversation avoid making absolute statements or insist on the factual nature of their claims, other than direct quotes of the recent ruling and other relevant legal text.
