That is because somehow it is OK for the state to have no say in which god to believe in, yet for Dahl it is OK for the state to say what money to believe in.

Here is an anecdotal example of cashing out 6figures across borders. https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinUK/comments/7lioco/cashing_o...

This is from a US exchange to a UK bank.

Exactly and eerily true. At my university there this is a category 2 serious incident; like a fire, flood or epidemic. Any student admitted to emergency medical care due to inebriation, means the Serious Incident Officer is involved. How the SIO is supposed to find out I don't know.

I struggle to understand why relatively high-level management or SIO needs to be paid to get involved in what another 'adult' does out side of lectures/labs and campus.

exactly, not so much as a leak as a release. The presumption that the press (even 100 odd institutions) need to be gatekeepers for this inforamation is offensive. Especially since the mostly sham of an excuse of the snowden documents does not hold in this case.

Except that sending a HTTP request to a server you get copy or version of the content, which is no longer the property of the content creator. Physical store owners enjoy inherent DRM but your analogous physical store owner seems to wish for DMCA like control over digital content. What if lynx/links is used ? There are no legal or moral-rights 'physical store owners' have to decide how a URL is fetched and interpreted on the some one elses property.
