Well yeah, it's just one country, were you expecting an essay on the Global legality of Archives? You didn't ask for a specific country, numbnuts.
Lmao what's up with the hostility? Can you not just talk like a normal, civilised person? If you behaved like this in real life, people would very quickly either stop talking to you, or knock you out.
You said that it's blanket legal, in all cases, and that anybody who says otherwise is an idiot. I said that not only is that not the case in the one country you brought up, it also isn't in others.
Nobody asked you to list the laws of every country, or of any specific country. You said archiving is always legal in every case, everywhere, and said anybody who says otherwise is an idiot. Unfortunately your perception and reality don't quite line up with one another.
Me calling you numbnuts is the absolute height of my courtesy.
Yes, I can believe it. Some people lash out and become extremely adversarial once they have anonymity. I imagine you're not this rude in person.
But yeah, your statement wasn't really true, neither for the US or elsewhere.
