Frankly, the solution here isn’t vandalism, it’s setting up a competing side and copying the content over. The license of stackoverflow makes that explicitly legal. Anything else is just playing around and hoping that a company acts against its own interests, which has rarely ever worked before.

How and why is it illegal (I will take down my post about vandlism until I discuss this.)

[–] FJW@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’m not saying vandalism is illegal. I’m say that it borders on immoral and that there is a better, more radical (and thus effective) alternative that one might expect to be illegal but in fact isn’t.

My post was mostly to just insert invisable marks like   to your answers to screw over any machine that is sensitive to unicode.
