I was waiting for a happy ending at the end of the article that never came. But I'm glad the Guardian ran this piece, it shows how powerful someone can be when they know how to "use" the law. And how powerless one can be when

Very enlightening posts. I appreciate how they tell you that million is not for every situation, it's for sites with "Lots of static content with little dynamic content". Many frameworks boasts about how they are the best at
