I agree. I wanted to see the EFF's amicus brief, and for the Court to decide on the issue so that we could have good case law with hyperlinks as protected speech.

There's no reason the EFF can't release their amicus brief, even if there's no longer a reason for them to file it. Good arguments should be shared.

Do you want that outcome enough to get yourself charged for activities that would bring it about? After all, without a SCOTUS decision the fruit is still hanging on the vine for any of us to snatch.
