I see. So you're not a real lawyer, you just pretend to be one on HN.

Not once did I ever claim to be a lawyer.

You could have fooled me with all of your seemingly confident talk about treble damages, which in reality is incredibly ill-informed.

First, I'm not responsible for your assumptions. If you're taking legal advice from strangers on an Internet forum, then as your absolutely-not-a-lawyer I advise you not to do that.

Second, I didn't bring up treble damages, the comment I was replying to did. I was simply drawing a logical conclusion based on the information they provided.
