But I'm here to tell you that PACER—Public Access to Court Electronic Records—is a judicially approved scam. The very name is misleading: Limiting the public's access by charging hefty fees, it has been a scam since it was launched and, barring significant structural changes, will be a scam forever.
Somewhat old but still relevant today.

Like, here, oh mighty Soylent hasH? Oh, the irony of trying to not mod down the down-modable exaeta, but to provide a comment to help him recognize the error of his ways, and then getting filtered? What the hell is a filter? Is this not censorship by the SoylentNews? Is the not what I have been going on about? Look! Look here! This is the violence inherent in the System! This is what I am on about!
And, I still think that exaeta is a criminal, one that does not comprehend the rule of law, and whom we should mock mercilessly. I will mod him down, when I get the chance.

Been getting more of those lately thanks to micros~1 boy and his fetish. Is also more difficult to post from tor exit nodes, but it imho is all good. Parts of comments can be reworded to get around them. Are these necessary compromises in the face of internet background radiation?
The only beneficial thing to come from this may be reflection on the nature of free speech and how a scoundrel among scoundrels challenges technical solutions. Is this fundamentally different from goings on about twits using failbook and expecting that every youtube video is a high-quality, well-researched documentary?
Would be interested in your analysis.
