Sufficient details have to be provided to prove the accusation that instructions were provided. What those instructions were was not the issue. Only that they were provided.
And if they had filed the lawsuit with some vague claim of "they told people how to strip DRM" without any specifics as to how, you'd be just as outrage (which doesn't matter), and so would the court (which does). Lawyers get punished for that sort of nonsense.
But precisely what the instructions were
was not at issue. Only whether or not it was legal to provide them.

I find myself less than concerned at who some guy on the internet who is outraged on behalf of someone they've never met and never will gets worked up over. Is Kovid upset? Do you have any idea?
