FEDS WORRIED MAXWELL MIGHT KILL HERSELF

The Judge hearing Ghislaine Maxwell's case had 1 other notable case in her time. It was Cartoon Network et al. (a bunch of cable TV providers basically), vs a company which sold a device that, if you put your cable TV sim card into their box, let you stream all channels to your computer (and from there to any browser).

Their argument was basically "am I a cable provider, in which case by law you must offer me an opportunity to gain a licence (this is a thing), or am I a neutral carrier, in which case you can't sue me for copyrighted works".

She ruled in favour of Cartoon Network, of course. But what's interesting about it is that in her judgement she cites the NXIVM case. Weird, because she didn't use it's outcome (i.e. that NXIVM lost because you can't slap an NDA on brainwashing-homework and sue people who publish it online pointing out that it's brainwashing-homework). She used it because she thought it was a good example of, if she accepted the defendant's argument, it too severely hurts one side (Cartoon Network - i.e. - publishers of NDA'd works in a fair-use scenario), over the marginal gain it gives to the defendant (they don't have a temporary injunction - i.e. a suspension of their buissnes temporarily, before the case is settled (as it may go through many re-trials and Cartoon Network et al. want them closed immediately).

So to recap, she thinks that the reason NXIVM lost, is that if they had won, it would have had too severe an effect on many other people - but they should have won. It was being this cucked for powerful interests that led to her getting selected for the Epstein case.
