Top lawyers at his company, Automattic, have been leaving: https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/2024/12/02/for-the-sec...

The lawyer he retained for this case, Neal Katyal, is not a sympathetic figure to a lot of people: https://newrepublic.com/article/160481/neal-katyal-depravity...

> That poor attorney.

He won't be a poor attorney after milking Matt Mullenweg. The financial rewards of having to defend one of the most vindictive clients ever[1] are probably not small, especially when your client is so mentally stuck that they will see their delusional case to the last appeal.

If that’s genuinely an Automattic site, well… I guess I thought I couldn’t be surprised by the petty and spiteful depths Matt could sink to anymore. I was wrong. Infantile.

There’s an Automattic footer. I’m baffled at the stupidity.

'a judge ordered Mullenweg to remove a controversial login checkbox'

remove means gone, not altered or replaced. i think clarification comes next, offering a chance to demonstrate lack of contempt before being jailed.

On what grounds? He changed the statement the box makes by the user. It's silly compliance but O think you really have to go further than this for contempt.

nope, in a simple lexicon, all you have to do is piss off any member of the court, this stands for most jurisdictions

As a process server, this pleases me greatly

Depends. If an item is ordered to be removed from a store, there isn't an assumption that the shelf be left empty.

changing the wrapper is not removing the item, and the congruity of WithPinapple compared to WordPress is a common obfusication, method.

this would be indirect contempt, of court order to the prejudice of the courts authority to mandate injunctive relief

One key difference that I suspect the court will consider is that this isn’t a shelf.

For an unscrupulous attorney, a client like this would be great no? Talk about easy money.
