Here was the HN convo for smelvetica - &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=17925352&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=17925352&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, like a lot of people mentioned here, I didn’t really fight the takedown. Didn’t really have a lot of interest wasting any time with people who’s sole job was to ruin the fun. And on the flipped side, found it even funnier that they felt it hurt their brand at all.</text></comment>

Does that jibe with others&amp;#x27; understanding of the law?</text></comment>
